Introduction

Livelihood approaches have often been ad hoc with little clarity on types of use:

The way of targeting,Sharing of costs which resulted in some

inconsistency in addressing livelihoods between organisations.

Thus the need for addressing livelihoods and water for multiple uses in a more structured way in water projects.

Introduction

The guideline aims to address water for livelihoods in a structured way in different steps of the project cycle.

It is targeted towards DWSSC members, NGOs and it does not replace existing water supply provision

Under the ZimWASH project this guide was developed, piloted and implemented in 6 districts.

Conclusionaction planning helped the DWSSC and the

communities identify the livelihoods activities and also what actions they can take on their own and those that need external assistance.

As way forward there is still need to support the DWSSC to roll out the action planning
