Abstract
This report outlines the methodology and process used by CNAEA in this effort, describes previous WS/S activities in Zaire, and summarizes and makes observations on the initial draft of the CNAEA policy/strategy statement. The WASH team recommends that the Government of Zaire: support the participatory approach already adopted by the National Rural Water Agency (SNHR); fully involve women in WS/S projects; develop the SNHR"s capacity to provide training in simple rural water supply techniques; provide institutional autonomy to the proposed SNHR planning unit; specify planning activities; and include sanitation and health components in WS/S activities. Also included are allied recommendations for short- and long-term USAID/Z support to the Zairois WS/S sector.
