Overview
Water Witness International works to ensure that people have reliable access to safe water for their well-being and livelihood. In its first phase, Water Witness recruited and trained 98 citizen observers in Tanzania (44% female) who documented water service infractions, held community forums, and filed complaints that contributed to remedial actions and changes in oversight and regulatory bodies. This grant will support the next phase of this project to improve water security for 1 million people in Tanzania. It will also continue to strengthen the fundraising and management capacity of Shahidi wa Maji, a Tanzanian civil society organization and co-implementor. Water Witness will also document its experiences and share what it learns with global water activists. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)
