This report, developed by Uptime Global, the University of Oxford, and the Government of Zambia, presents a results-based funding model for ensuring safe drinking water in Zambia’s public schools and health care facilities. It outlines the implementation of the SafeManzi model, a performance-based service contract that ensures timely repairs, water quality testing, and sustainable maintenance. The report details a pilot project in Mumbwa district, where 100 institutions are testing this approach, and presents a roadmap for national-scale implementation by 2030. If fully adopted, Zambia could become the first African country to provide universal safe drinking water in public institutions. Find the report below!
