Abwasser Lake Victoria Support to waste water management at Lake Victoria South Der Viktoriasee, die bedeutendste Süßwasserreserve in Ostafrika, ist im Zuge des steigenden Bevölkerungswachstums und der voranschreitenden Verstädterung zunehmend bedroht von Verschmutzung durch die Einleitung ungeklärter Abwässer in die Flüsse im Wassereinzugsgebiet. In vielen Städten im Wassereinzugsgebiet mangelt es an adäquater Trinkwasserver- und Abwasserentsorgung.Das Vorhaben soll zum einen durch die Verbesserung des Abwassermanagements einen Beitrag zum Schutz des Viktoriasees leisten und zum anderen den Zugang der Bevölkerung in ausgewählten Städten zu Sanitäreinrichtungen und Trinkwasserversorgung verbessern. Die geplanten Investitionsmaßnahmen des Vorhabens bestehen überwiegend aus Bauleistungen zur Rehabilitierung und Erweiterung bereits bestehender Wasserversorgungs- und /oder Abwasserentsorgungssystemen in den Städten Kericho, Kisii und Litein. Voraussichtlich rd. 94.000 Menschen werden Zugang zur leitungsgebundenen Wasserversorgung erhalten und ca. 30.000 Zugang zur leitungsgebundenen Abwasserentsorgung. Während die direkte Zielgruppe die urbane und peri-urbane Bevölkerung in den Städten Kisii, Kericho und Litein umfasst, profitieren indirekt auch die gesamte Bevölkerung des Einzugsgebiets des Viktoriasees von der verbesserten Abwassersammlung und -reinigung im Projektgebiet. Das FZ-Modul schließt direkt an das inzwischen abgeschlossene Vorhaben Entwicklung des Wasser- und Sanitätssektors - Lake Victoria South an, in dessen Rahmen u. a. auch in Kisii, und Kericho bereits Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Wasserversorgung sowie der Ausbau der Kläranalage am Standort Kisii umgesetzt wurden. Das Modul ist Teil der trilateralen Kooperation mit Israel. Von der israelischen Regierung wurden Trainings für Institutionen im Wassersektor in der Region durchgeführt. Lake Victoria, the most important freshwater reserve in East Africa, is increasingly threatened by pollution from the discharge of untreated sewage into the waterbodies of the catchment area as a result of rising population growth and advancing urbanisation. Many towns in the catchment area lack adequate water supply and wastewater disposal.The project aims to contribute to the protection of Lake Victoria by improving wastewater management and by improving the population's access to sanitation facilities and water supply in selected towns. The planned investment measures of the project mainly consist of construction works for the rehabilitation and expansion of already existing water supply and/or sewage disposal systems in the towns of Kericho, Kisii and Litein. It is expected that about 94,000 people will have access to water supply and about 30,000 to sanitation. While the direct target group comprises the urban and peri-urban population in the towns of Kisii, Kericho and Litein, the entire population of the Lake Victoria catchment area will also benefit indirectly from improved wastewater collection and treatment in the project area. The FC module is a direct follow-up to the now completed project Development of the Water and Sanitation Sector - Lake Victoria South, under which measures to improve the water supply and expand the sewage treatment plant at the Kisii site have already been implemented in Kisii and Kericho, among other places. The module is part of the trilateral cooperation with Israel. The Israeli government has conducted training for institutions in the water sector in the region.
