Written Question
Zimbabwe: Water
Wednesday 29th May 2019

Asked by: James Duddridge (Conservative - Rochford and Southend East)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of clean water provision in Harare.

Answered by Harriett Baldwin - Shadow Minister (Business and Trade)

Out of a daily demand of 800 mega litres, the City of Harare is only able to provide 500 mega litres. Through a multi-donor trust fund called ZIMFUND, DFID has, since 2010, supported the rehabilitation of water supply infrastructure to improve waste water treatment capacity and water supply to some areas. Through UNICEF we are supporting the City of Harare with repairing water infrastructures and boreholes in cholera prone areas.
