The
proposed project wants to address the problem of water supply shortage in the
county. The poor people of the county are the most victims during shortage of
water supply services. Therefore, the project will target the most vulnerable
groups of the town of Mandera. This is in conformity with the UN Resolution on
Human Rights to Water and sanitation. This resolution was adopted on September
30th 2010 by consensus in the UN Human Rights Council. The resolution recognizes the right to safe
and clean drinking water and sanitation as a human right that is essential for
the full enjoyment of life and all human rights.

Based on the coverage levels
discussed above, the Mandera district has been identified for the intervention.
The project aims to help the settlements in and around the small urban centres
of the county in providing water supply and sanitation services.
This is to be achieved by
introducing a participatory approach where the beneficiary communities will be
strongly encouraged to establish and implement action plans to address their
problems of water supply and sanitation services.

There is a strong collaboration
between UN-Habitat and the Members of Parliament of the Mandera County as well
as high officials of the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya
and Other Arid Lands. This partnership between the parties will be an advantage
to secure political will from high officials towards the success of the project
implementation. Therefore, due attention will be given to further strengthen
the collaboration between UN-Habitat and the high officials in the region.
A fast-track project formulation
study and basic assessments of the area will be required. Based on its experience accumulated from several similar projects,
UN-Habitat will assist with the requisite expertise in supporting local water
and sanitation professionals to carry out the work. To ensure sustainability, the
existing institutional framework within the county will form the basis (to be
guided and strengthened with appropriate technical advisory inputs) to
identify, plan and implement the project.
Steering committees, consisting of
officials from the government organizations, International organizations and
Non-governmental organizations actively participating in the region, at
national and local levels will be formed in order to carry out supervision of
the execution of the project.
UN-Habitat is providing both Knowledge services and high level policy advisory services.
