Despite important progress made by the government and development partners in recent years, the Northern Province of Niassa (surface 122’870 km; 1.8 Million inhabitants) remains the province with the lowest water and sanitation coverage in Mozambique. Currently, only 48% of the rural population in Niassa Province have access to safe drinking water and only 29% to improved water & sanitation facilities (closed, with access to water and soap). This is far below the government target to achieve universal access to basic safe sanitation and hygiene by 2030. Only 12% of the population uses improved latrines and 6% of the households have a specific space for washing hands with water and soap or ashes. Additionally, only half of the 193 health posts in the Province have adequate water, sanitation and hygiene services. These inadequate water supply and hygiene conditions result in high incidences of diarrhoea, skin infections and annual cholera outbreaks in communities. Building on the good experiences of the Swiss co-financed and government-led Transparent Governance for Water, Sanitation and Health (GoTAS) program implemented since 2012, Phase III of the programme aims to continue strengthening community and civil society participation and increase the provision of quality public water sanitation and health promotion services through government systems, in order to effectively respond to community priorities. |
Objetivos | Improve the health and socioeconomic well-being of the women, men, girls and boys in Niassa Province by reducing the incidences of water- and sanitation-related diseases. |

Efectos a medio plazo |
Outcome 1: In the four target districts (from phase 2), women and men living in rural areas can express their needs and rights and demand responsibility from local governments and private sector to provide basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services Outcome 2: In the seven target districts (from phases 2 and 3), decentralised systems (district government, private sector, water and sanitation committees) have provided more equitable, efficient and integrated health, including high-quality basic WASH services that meet the needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. Outcome 3: Improve sector approaches through evidence from local realities’, engage in national level dialogue and influence the institutionalization of program approaches through policy change, adoption, and practice. |
