The UN-Habitat is seeking expressions of interest (EOIs) from interested partners, NGOs, with strong presence and experience in Kigoma region for undertaking this project in a period of not more than four months.
The purpose of this project is to ensure that the Uvinza DC, Kasulu TC, and Kigoma DC communities and the selected primary schools have increased access to improved sanitation facilities (improved pit latrines) and hygiene services.
This project is being implemented as a part of the UN Kigoma Joint Programme (KJP). The UNKJP is intended to improve human security in the region of Kigoma which receives refugees from the neigbouring Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Initially, the KJP focused mainly on the 3 districts of Kasulu, Kibondo and Kakonko. Overtime however, the project was changed and is now implemented in all districts in Kigoma. The Joint Programme is being implemented under the framework of Phase II of the United Nations Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP II) 2016-2021 through a Multi-Partner Trust Fund.
It consists of 16 UN agencies cooperating in 6 outcome areas of sustainable energy and environment, youth, and women’s economic empowerment (YWEE), violence against women and children (VAWC), education with a focus on girls and adolescent girls, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and agriculture with a focus on developing local markets.
UN Habitat works under the WASH theme alongside UNICEF and WHO. UN Habitat focuses its resources and efforts in Uvinza District Council (DC), Kigoma DC and Kasulu TC.
