Narrative description of project:

WE Consult was requested by Wateraid in 2004 to carry out baseline surveys in two districts together with Wateraid and Public Works Zambezia. WE Consult gave training and technical advice for the data collection and conducted the baseline survey.

The project got a follow-up in 2006, when another 14 districts were included. A comprehensive GIS system and improved database were set-up

The output is to supply reliable data on the actual coverage of the population and will be useful as a planning tool for the future projects in both districts. Additional data gathered on schools will assist the educational department in assessing the needs of the districts. Also data on sanitation and health posts have been gathered. The field work was coordinated together with DPOPH, district administration and Wateraid.
