For every child, Safety
The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar developed the Zanzibar National Water Policy in 2004 to set policy guidelines for the management, development, distribution and access of water services. The existing policy was formulated under the Ministry responsible for Lands, Housing, Water and Energy. The policy provided the strategic intervention to establish an autonomous institution with the primary responsibility of management, development, distribution and access to water resources. However, the major achievement of the Zanzibar National Water Policy of 2004 was the establishment of the Zanzibar Water Authority (ZAWA) through Water Act No. 4 of 2006, with the mandate to manage water resources and provide clean, reliable and good-quality water. The policy roadmap indicates that there is a long period for implementing the framework, and the major changes to occur include the formulation of different national policies, strategies, plans, laws and regulations.
Despite all the efforts taken by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar to provide adequate quality, clean and safe water to all water users in Zanzibar, there are still a number of challenges. Many challenges are inextricably linked to the existing outdated national water policy of 2004. The challenges might be caused by increased water demand from different user’s i.e., domestic, agriculture, small industry, commercial and tourism sectors that represent an important basis for the development formulation of the new policy.
Access to adequate, clean and safe water for all water users requires strong intervention from the government. However, reform of the water and sanitation sector in Zanzibar has been slow and inadequate to keep pace with the times.

The purpose of this consultancy is to support the Ministry of Water Energy and Minerals to develop up-to-date water policy, that takes into account SDGs targets, government reforms including legal framework and the new Government’s vision 2050.The assignment will mainly be carried out in Zanzibar, covering both Unguja and Pemba Islands with travels in all five regions. Travel movements will be discussed in detail in inception in collaboration with Ministry of Water, Energy, and Mineral of Zanzibar. The start date is 1st
November 2022 and the end date 30th May 2023 for a duration of 180 days (6 Months). UNICEF will pay for 90 working days within the 6 months period
