About this file
This document contains a climate risk screening attachment and related federal contract opportunity solicitation. The climate risk screening attachment evaluates climate risks and adaptation strategies for expanding rural water supply and sanitation projects in four Zambian provinces over five to twenty years. Key risks addressed include increased temperatures, reduced water availability, flooding, and waterborne diseases. The screening recommends strategies like increasing and diversifying water supply infrastructure, water conservation efforts, flood prevention, and disease awareness campaigns.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from USAID to increase sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene service delivery in the same four Zambian provinces. The purpose is to professionalize services, promote accountability, and enhance private sector engagement. Activities will work with national, provincial and local Zambian government entities to establish policies and processes ensuring high quality services. The solicitation also aims to build the capacity of Zambian water service providers by leveraging private sector reach, innovation and interests.
