Upgrading water supply and sanitation in Mbeya, Tanzania
The objective of this EU- and KfW-financed municipal water management project was to improve water supply and sanitation of the district capital of Mbeya in the southern highlands of Tanzania by rehabilitation and new construction of facilities, continuous reduction of water loss rates, and construction of additional water extraction and distribution systems. Fichtner oversaw the project from drawing up a plan of action, through tendering and site supervision, up to project management and conducting public awareness building campaigns with organizational strengthening of the municipal water authorities.
