IntroductionPeople need water to meet various needs-
domestic and productive useImportance of small scale productive useIn the past water services did not take these
in accountWater services planning- need to
accommodate these uses.In Zimbabwe various organisations have
taken livelihood approach to water supply services- high water table areas.
MUS meeting 22-23 Nov
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.
11th Waternet/WARFSA/GWP-SA symposium
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.
MUS meeting 22- 23 Nov
The Guide
It has three parts:Conceptual framework which defines key
concepts in relation to the provision of water for livelihoods
Part 2: Addresses water and livelihoods in the project cycle: it gives an explanation of how to address livelihoods issues in each step.
Part 3: tools and methods

test the usefulness of the tools:Two day training at district levelTwo day village assessments

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
