Safe drinking water is essential for public health and development. USAID celebrated signing an agreement to promote quality assurance testing for drinking water and foster safety management for rural communities to ensure water quality in Manyara, Tanzania. USAID will operationalize this agreement with the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA) through the #REALWater project. The USAID Water for the World research plan supports Tanzania’s efforts to improve rural water services and keep drinking water safe. The research will help develop plans to provide professional lab testing for water systems managed by RUWASA. #REALWater will evaluate the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the Water Quality #AssuranceFund through collaborations with the Ministry of Water (MoW), RUWASA, and communities in the #Mbulu and #Hanang districts of the Manyara region. Over 78,000 people will benefit from the evaluation, and the results of this evaluation will elevate the consideration of options to expand to other regions of Tanzania.
