Project
Objective:
Rural water
supply
schemes be
provided in
3 suitably
sized
villages
over a
period of 3
years,
commencing
with the
village of
Ramotshinyadi
in Limpopo
province in
Year 1, and
extending to
an
additional
two villages
in Years 2
and 3 in the
North-West
and Eastern
Cape
provinces,
to be
identified
once
implementation
of the
project is
underway.
Ramotsinyadi
is a rural
village
consisting
of
approximately
2000
dwellings
and an
estimated
population
of 10 000.
The village
of
Ramotsinyadi
has been
selected for
the
following
reasons: |
-
Existing USAID
programs
including PEPFAR
are underway in
the village,
-
The village is
distinctly rural
in nature and of
poor social
standing,
-
The village is
discrete,
compact and well
defined from a
spatial
perspective,
-
Insufficient
investment in
service
infrastructure
has taken place,
-
Inadequate water
supply and
reticulation
exists,
-
Water quality
issues represent
a potential
health hazard to
the village,
-
The size of the
village and
scope of
intervention
required are
proportionate to
the funds
available in
Year 1 of the
project from
WADA.
