Zimbabwe Water &#38;#38;#38; Sanitation Rehabilitation Funding under this initiative covers key Zimbabwe water and sanitation support seeking to reduce vulnerability to the threat of waterborne diseases such as cholera through emergency support and rehabilitation of water and sanitation systems in partnership with both UNICEF and World Vision. The UNICEF proposal aims to: improve water and sanitation services in 4 urban and critical rural areas targeting an estimated 300,000 beneficiaries; assist 20 targeted urban councils to provide equitable water services to residents targeting an estimated 2.8 million beneficiaries; and ensure health institutions, schools and communities most at risk have access to reliable water, sanitation and hygiene. The World Vision proposal aims to reduce the threat of waterborne diseases such as cholera in the city of Bulawayo through improved sewerage, water supply systems and capacity building of the city council. The total value of this initiative is $29.2 million over 4 years, starting 2009-10.
