Mouhamed Fadel Ndaw, Kristoffer Welsien · 2015
This report presents findings of a field study in Tanzania that took place in September 2014. The first section offers a landscape analysis, looking at the regulatory and operating environment, existing ICT use in the WASH sector, the current state of ICT policy and then a more detailed look at ICT applications currently in use in the Tanzanian WASH sector. The second section then looks specifically at the case of the mWater application. As part of each country case study one to two ICT initiatives were examined in detail using the dual framework analysis introduced and described in the Analytical Report1.This allowed for an increased in-depth assessment of the barriers and enabling factors of success faced by ICTs currently in play in the African WASH sector and supported the highlighting of key principles upon which successful sustainability and scalability models can be constructed. This case study report was prepared based on mWater reports and on interviews and focus group discussions carried out among implementers and project participants in Mwanza. The stakeholders that were consulted during the preparation of this report are presented in Annex A.
