Progress in sanitation and hygiene in rural Zambia has been limited since the declaration of
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000. To enhance achievements in the sector,
the UK Department for International Development (DFID) directed US $32 million between
2011 and 2016 through the Zambia Sanitation and Hygiene Programme (ZSHP), implemented
by UNICEF. By providing access to adequate sanitation and hygiene to 3 million people and
500,000 school children, the ZSHP is expected to contribute to a reduction in the prevalence
of diarrhoea among children under 5. This report presents key findings of a value for money
analysis of the Zambia Sanitation and Hygiene Programme to date.
