Ethiopia's Water Supply Progress
Ethiopia's Water Supply Progress
INTRODUCTION
Safe drinking water is one of the basic necessities for human beings. However, billions of
people in the world have not access to it today. Of this, significant number of the
population is from the developing countries. Particularly women and children are the
most vulnerable segments of the society. Worldwide and in Ethiopia significant number
of children are dying each day because of lack of safe drinking water and appropriate
sanitation and hygiene.
In 2005 the government of Ethiopia has ratified Universal Access Program (UAP) that
enables to provide safe water to all citizens of the nation. In addition, the first Growth
and Transformation Plan (GTP-1) covering the period from 2011 to 2015 was also
endorsed in 2010 and it is under implementation now. This plan targets to increase the
rural, urban and total access to water supply coverage to 98%, 100% and 98.5%
respectively and reduce the malfunctioning schemes from 20% to 10%. For the last four
GTP years (2011-2014) different activities has been implemented to reach the target,
accordingly in June 2014 the water supply access coverage has reached to 75.5%, 84.1%
and 76.7% in urban, rural, and national respectively.
As the first growth and transformation plan will be finalized on the mid of 2015 this
Second Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP-2) covering the period from 2016-2020 is
prepared. As the country has a vision to reach to a level of lower middle income country
in its socio-economic development by the year 2025, the plan is prepared taking into
1
consideration this national vision. Hence, the main focus of the plan is to ensure
availability of water supply and sanitation services that satisfies the need of lower middle
income countries’ citizens by the year 2020. For this purpose the experiences of some
middle income countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Ghana, and Kenya which have
some similarities to our country in demography, population settlement patterns, etc is
reviewed and their best experiences and achievements are used to set the objective of the
plan. The detail in this regard is annexed.
The planning document contains 9 chapters. The first chapter is introduction. It describes
the background and gives overview. The second chapter reviews the focus areas of GTP-
1, its four years implementation status and the challenges faced during the
implementation. The third chapter discusses about the objectives and goals of GTP-2.
The fourth chapter describes the implementation strategy of the plan. The fifth chapter
discusses the budget of the plan while the sixth, seventh and eighth chapters deals with
capacity building plan and the opportunities and risks of the plan, respectively. Finally,
chapter nine contains the conclusion.
During the 4 years (2011-2014) GTP-1 period, it is planned to provide access overall to
26,655,661 of which 23,601,204 are rural and 2,733,869 urban people and achieve
water supply access coverage of 92%, 99% and 93% for rural, urban and total,
respectively by the year 2014. Accordingly, for the last 4 years, the sector has exerted
significant effort to meet the objectives of the plan. These include:
During the 4 years planning period it was planned to construct overall 74,255
water supply schemes of which 73,909 are rural and 346 urban. Of these, the
construction of 66,345 water supply schemes of which 66,139 rural and 206
urban is completed. This indicates that the physical plan is achieved by 89.5%
in rural and 59.6% in urban water supply. Even though the physical
achievement is lower than the plan, the achievement in terms of number of
beneficiaries of the facilities exceeds the plan as the types of individual facilities
actually constructed has more service capacity than those in the plan.
During the 4 years planning period it was planned to provide safe water supply
access overall to 29,776,220 people of which 27,140,044 rural and 2,636,176
urban. Of these, overall 31,214,380 people (28,126,973 rural and 3,132,978
urban) have got access to safe water supply. This indicates that the plan is
achieved overall by 104.8% of which 103.6% is for rural and 114.8% for urban.
Based on the NWI baseline data the water supply access coverage has reached
to 75.5%, 84.1%, and 76.7% respectively for rural, urban and total by the year
2014 indicating that the achievement has lagged behind the plan by 16.5%,
3
14.8% and 16.2% for rural, urban and total coverage, respectively due to the
baseline data revision.
By the year 2014 it was planned to reduce non-functionality rate of rural water
supply schemes to 12% while the actual achievement is 15.5% indicating that
70.8% of the plan is achieved.
Significant capacity building measures has been carried out both for rural and
urban water supply services in terms of training (short, medium and long term),
working manuals and guidelines development, logistical support, support in
Research and Development and this intervention has significantly improved the
government and the private sector implementation capacity at federal, region,
zone, and woreda/town levels. As well significant effort is also exerted to
improve the community capacity in planning, implementation and O&M of their
own water supply facilities.
Much experience is gained from the Joint Technical Review (JTR) field
assessment conducted in association with development partners and from
Multi-stakeholders Forum (MSF) which is taking place once in a year.
Based on experiences of WASH program in the past years currently one WASH
program has been developed and launched.

The sub-sector’s major plans and their 4-years implementation status are tabulated
hereunder in Table 1.
Table 1: The First Growth and Transformation Plan and its 4 years’ performance
The 4 years performance of the water supply sub-sector is encouraging even though there
are lags in achieving some of the targets of the plan.
2.2. GTP-1 core sstrategic ddirections and its adherence in the implementation
5
• Encourage and support self supply,
• Provide due focus for labor intensive low cost technologies utilizing local
construction material,
• Strengthen MIS.
It is attempted to adhere the above mentioned core directions of the plan in the
implementation. However, because of lack of awareness some of the directions are not
adhered by some implementation agencies below region level. Thus, in GTP-2 focus
would be given to the creation of awareness on the plan to all stakeholders at all levels.
6
Even though there are attempts to improve good governance in urban water
supply, still there are significant problems in this regard coupled with significant
water supply leakage.
Safe water supply sources are getting far from settlements because of
groundwater depletion and pollution.
Upgrade the water supply service infrastructure to the level of middle income
countries by 2020.
Increase the water supply access coverage upgrading the service level.
7
Ensure urban water supply customers’ satisfaction by enabling the water supply
utilities financially self-sufficient including investment cost recovery and ensuring
good governance in the service delivery.
Encourage use of labor intensive low cost technologies using renewable energies
such as wind and solar and utilize piped system water supply technologies in
urban areas and in rural areas where there are significant number of settlers such
as kebele centers.
Contribute to the realization of the vision of the country to become middle income
country by 2025 through provision of access to safe and sustainable water supply and
urban wastewater management to the citizens of the country using low cost technologies
and community mass mobilization.

(towns/cities with a population less than 20,000) within a distance of 250m.
Review of some middle income countries’ water supply service level having nearly
similar demography and settlement patterns as of Ethiopia and with relatively better
experience in the sub-sector is conducted among others to set the service level standard
for the planning period. The details are depicted in Annex-1.
The details of the plan in terms of annual water supply access coverage targets, the
number of beneficiaries planned to be served annually, and number of water supply
schemes planned to be implemented annually in the planning period are depicted in
Annex-2.

4. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES OF THE PLAN
Ensure that GTP-2 plan preparation consistent to the targets of the national plan is
cascaded down up to the kebele level and served as a guiding implementation tool
for the planning period.
Advocate and promote the plan to mobilize resources and trigger community
mobilization.
Ensure the private sector’s involvement in all sub-sector’s activities providing due
focus to Operation and Maintenance.
Ensure rural water safety through rural water supply water quality monitoring
system and water safety planning and implementation.
Strengthen the coordination of the sub-sector with the relevant undertakings of the
Ministry of Urban Development and Construction.
14
As urban water supply demand is ever increasing with the rapid urbanization and
industrial development, it is becoming a challenge to satisfy the demand only
from groundwater sources. Thus, use of hybrid sources both from ground and
surface water would be given due attention focusing particularly on the use of
dams and reservoirs for multiple use in association with the relevant
stakeholders.
Ensure urban water safety through urban water supply water quality monitoring
system and water safety planning and implementation.
5. FINANCIAL PLAN
As finance is one of the inputs required for the implementation of the plan, the
expenditure required is estimated taking due consideration the financial requirements
throughout a project implementation cycle. As well the planning has also attempted to
identify the possible financial sources with the estimated amount they could contribute to
the implementation of the plan.
In order to overcome the financial limitation challenges due focus would be given to low
cost technologies and use of the resources available in the community. Moreover, for the
same reason the costs of imported goods from overseas needs to be less than 26% of the
overall project cost.
Details of the financial requirement of the plan are depicted in Table 2. Overall financial
requirement for the implementation of the plan is Birr 82.8 Billion of which Birr 77.8
Billion is capital and Birr 5 billion recurrent budget. Of the capital budget Birr 28 Billion
is for rural and Birr 44.2 Billion for urban water supply construction and rehabilitation
while Birr 5.5 Billion is for urban wastewater management works. Moreover, 74% of the
capital budget (Birr 54.6 Billion) is planned to be spent in local currency while the
remaining 26% (USD 841.3 million) is planned to be spent in foreign currency.
15
Expenditures in local and foreign currency are depicted in Table 4 while the details on
the estimation for the same are in Annex-3.
Based on the experiences from GTP-1, the possible financial sources and their estimated
budget share are depicted in Table 3. Thus, it is deemed that 49% would be covered from
the government treasury, 31% from donors in terms of loan and grant, 4% from CSOs,
and 16% from beneficiary communities and urban utilities.

Human resources are the other basic input to materialize the plan. All implementation
agencies need to have the necessary experts well trained and having adequate experience
in the area of their specialty. The main responsibility of the government is to develop
policies, legislations, strategic plans and the like and search for financial sources while
17
the private sector would be involved in study, design, construction, operation and
maintenance. Donors and CSOs provide financial and technical assistance. As the rural
communities and urban utilities are beneficiaries of projects, they will have significant
involvement in all project implementation cycle.
Accordingly, all stakeholders of the plan are required to have adequate and trained human
resources to fulfill their responsibilities. Thus, the human resources plan considers the
need of the government, the private sector, CSOs, urban utilities, and the community for
study, design, construction, operation, maintenance and capacity building activities.
Moreover, the plan considers meeting 95% of the government need and to deploy water
extension workers at each kebele to assist the community self-supply engagement and
operation and maintenance of community managed water supplies and train care takers
and artisans which provide technical assistance to the community.
Total human resources required for the sector is depicted in Table 5. Accordingly, during
the planning period overall 527,874 work forces are required of which 4,374 are higher
and 13,000 medium professionals and the remaining 510,500 are artisans and care takers.
The details are in Annex-4. It is planned that the higher and medium professionals would
be trained by government and private sectors’ universities and colleges while artisans and
care takers would be trained by regions, zones, woredas and Woreda WaSH Consultants
(WWCs). Moreover, the JICA supported water technology training center is considered
to provide training in borehole drilling and other relevant skills.
18
6.2. Institutional Development
Water supply regulatory agency would be established to ensure the quality of the service
and monitor the fulfillment of the minimum standard service level. Urban water supply
utilities of category 1, 2, 3, and 4 are required to include in their institutional arrangement
a section dealing with urban wastewater management with appropriate staffing and
capacity. Enabling environment would also be created for the private sector to actively be
involved in operation and maintenance of urban water supply utilities. Small private
enterprises would be established and capacitated to assist regions and woredas in
planning, design, construction and operation and maintenance. The consultation platform
of the Ministry with consultants and contractors which had been started earlier would
continue and be strengthened.
Customers and urban water utilities would establish “Urban Water Forums” to strengthen
relations between the customers and the service providers and improve good governance
in the service delivery. Moreover, system would be established for benchmarking and
performance evaluation of urban water supply utilities.
Water Extension Workers will be deployed in those Kebeles where self supply is
extensively being implemented and where there is a need for close monitoring of
operation and maintenance of rural water supply schemes and artisans and caretakers
would also be trained and deployed to assist the community.
The coordination to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene would be strengthened and
the sector would work in partnership with the Ministry of Urban Development and
Construction and its affiliates at all levels in urban WaSH. The effort to strengthen the
ICT based MIS of the sector would continue. Effective and efficient civil servant army
would be built through the on-going civil service reform. Independent water supply and
wastewater management services’ regulatory agency would be established to monitor and
regulate services and in so doing ensure good governance in the service delivery and
ease the Ministry’s burden to focus on policy issues.
19
6.3. Partnership with Industries
The following are goods which are used in the sub-sector either manufactured in the
country or imported from abroad.
The sub-sector would establish strong partnership with universities and colleges in the
area of human resources development, research and development in water quality and
appropriate technologies among others. The partnership would focus on curriculum
development, internship facilitation, joint formulation of research projects and
implementation, providing service as co-supervisor for post graduates.
In order to integrate water supply and wastewater management services with sanitation
and hygiene, urban development and environmental protection activities coordination
would be strengthened with the health, education, agriculture, environmental protection,
urban development and construction, and women’s affairs sectors. Coordination system
with the Ministry of Urban Development and Construction and its affiliates at all levels
would be established in the preparation and implementation of urban towns’
development master plan. As well coordination mechanism would also be established
20
with all infrastructure development sectors. Moreover, as urban water demand
particularly those of large cities is significantly increasing, use of groundwater as the only
source of water supply is thus facing a challenge. Thus, there is a need to focus on using
surface water from dams and reservoirs being built for other purposes and establish
partnership for the same with relevant stakeholders.
7. OPPORTUNITIES
There are always opportunities which enhance the smooth implementation of plans and
threats which could hinder the progress of the implementation. Thus, it is very important
to assess beforehand the opportunities and threats that exist or could emerge during the
implementation of the plan and consider mitigation measures to minimize the threats and
efficiently utilize the opportunities. Accordingly, for the implementation of GTP-2, it is
important to consider the following opportunities which could create favorable
environment for accelerated implementation of the plan:
Regional states political leaders are well aware of the targets of the sub-sector
and the implementation strategy thus will play key role in coordinating,
monitoring and evaluating the implementation.
Harmonization of intervention among all stakeholders/partners of the sector is
undergoing well which will improve the synergetic effect for the
implementation by reducing negative impacts of disintegrated interventions.
Joint technical review of implementation with the sector's financing partners
and multi-stakeholders forum initiated by the partners are now streamlined in
the government activities which will deepen the harmonization process.
Even though the WaSH coordination at all levels is not strong enough as
anticipated, there are some improvements also in this respect.
The Consolidated WaSH Account (CWA) fund established for the sector by
some donors will be a nucleus to bring other financers to the One WaSH
implementation thus strengthening the financial capacity of the CWA for the
implementation.
21
The on-going studies on fluoride problem and its mitigation measures will
contribute a lot in alleviating the water supply problem in the rift valley area
having significant proportion of the population of the country.
The on-going capacity building of urban water supply utilities to improve
service delivery and financial capacity for self-financing of investment costs
will also contribute to the implementation.
The expansion of roads and other communication infrastructures in the
country will ease the implementation improving accessibility of water supply
schemes construction sites and speedy communication of stakeholders
involved in the implementation.
The national capacity building program in expansion of education institutions
and improvement of public service delivery will enhance the implementation
by strengthening the trained man-power of the sector at all levels and reducing
idle time in implementation.
The government's effort undergoing to strengthen the domestic financial
resource mobilization capacity will reduce the effect of unpredictability of
external financing thus accelerating implementation of the plan.
Focuses given for environmental protection at national and international level
will improve the water resources potential of the country through external
financing enhancing the environmental rehabilitation and protection activities
undergoing at the grassroots level.
8. Threats
The threats to be considered and mitigation measures planned for them to minimize their
negative effects include:
If the existing low implementation capacity both in the government and the
private sector is not build to cope up with the need for accelerated
implementation, this will significantly retard the required progress in the
implementation.
22
The on-going processes of harmonization and establishment of coordination
of WaSH at all levels is very slow to cope up the required accelerated
implementation in the sector.
Low involvement of professionals in the urban water supply utilities
management to change the utilities dependency on the government and lead
them to self-sufficiency,
Population pressure, accelerated urbanization process and industrialization
add strain to the sub-sector.
Financial implication to water supply infrastructure cost due to increasing
distance between settlement areas and water sources because of depletion of
existing ground water sources and urban settlement expansion,
Dispersed settlement and topographical barrier for piped system water supply
for rural areas.
The threats and challenges stated above will be mitigated by accelerating the on-going
harmonization, WaSH coordination, and sector's capacity building. Moreover, enhanced
advocation and promotion of the strategy for accelerated implementation of the plan will
continue to reach to overall consensus among all stakeholders of the sub-sector building
up on the results gained in GTP-1 in this regard.
9. CONCLUSIONS
The overall objective of the plan is to contribute to the realization of the vision of the
nation to become middle income country by 2025 through provision of access to safe and
sustainable water supply and urban wastewater management to the citizens of the
country using low cost technologies where they are feasible and through community mass
mobilization.
The plan has targeted to expand the provision of safe water supply access at high
standard service level during the planning period and ensure the sustainability of the
services and build overall capacity of the sub-sector. It also focuses to improve urban
wastewater management. To achieve these objectives, the plan includes construction and
rehabilitation/expansion of water supply schemes and construction of urban wastewater
management facilities. Overall, Birr 82.8 billion is required to achieve the plan. It is
23
planned to be financed by the government, donors, NGOs, urban utilities, and beneficiary
communities. The plan also provides due focus to capacity building, WaSH coordination,
water sources and catchment protection and rehabilitation, and improving partnership
with all stakeholders. As well, creating enabling environments for import substitution
manufacturing investment in the subsector is also given due attention.
The plan also includes the monitoring, evaluation and reporting mechanism of the
implementation so as to ensure accountability and make informed decision. It is also
planned that M&E will be supported with ICT based MIS.

Annexes
25
Annex-1: The water supply level of middle income countries and
international targets in the sub-sector
One of the focus areas of the plan is to upgrade the service level of the sub-sector to the level of
middle income countries based on the vision of the country for 2025. Thus, before setting targets
of the plan it is appropriate to assess the status of water supply in some middle income countries
and would be international targets which are discussed hereunder.
(a) Water supply service delivery performance main indicators
The following are the main international water supply service delivery performance indicators.
1. Water supply access indicators
1.1. Water supply access coverage (rural, urban, and total)
1.1.1. Water Supply access coverage with improved water supply schemes (%)
2.3. Distance from the water delivery point to residence (in km or in round trip travel time-
minute)
Regarding the water quality, it is expected to fulfill the water quality standards of World Health
Organization (WHO) and supplied with water supply schemes labeled as “improved” by Joint
Monitoring Program (JMP) of UNICEF and WHO. Thus, the water supply service is provided
fulfilling the WHO water quality standard with improved water supply schemes as per the
requirement of JMP.
Regarding the standards on the quantity of water needed to be supplied and the distance for water
fetching; the following is internationally accepted service level ladder.
26
Table 1.1 Water supply service level ladder
As per the standard formulated by Joint Monitoring Program of WHO and UNICEF for
monitoring MDGs of the sub-sector, a person need to get in minimum 20 liters water per day
within 1 km distance from the water delivery point with improved water supply schemes. These
UN organizations evaluate countries’ MDG performance using these standards and criteria. There
is no as such minimum standard regarding non-functionality of rural water supply schemes.
However, as the problem is very extensive in developing countries it also needs to be given
attention in the plan.
Even though there is no figure set as a standard for urban water supplies non-revenue water
(NRW), the NRW for urban water supplies with good management is usually 20% or below.
Even though urban water utilities are expected to deliver water to their customers throughout 24
hours in a day, there are only few middle income countries which comply with this commitment.
3. Construction quality indicators
Currently, there are no indicators in the sub-sector to evaluate construction quality. However, the
following could be used to monitor the quality of construction. In GTP-2 overall 238,770 small,
medium and large projects are implemented. Thus, the indicators to be proposed need to consider
these varieties. For this purpose, it is better to focus on the quality of the service the scheme
delivers after construction irrelevant of the size of the scheme.
Accordingly, the indicator proposed for construction quality monitoring is;
Proportion of constructed water supply schemes facing reduction in their water supply
delivery temporarily by 25% and more during their liability period of one year.
It is necessary to pinpoint the causes for construction quality problem in order to set solutions for
the same. Thus, some of the causes that could be mentioned here include the following;
Lack of well prepared study, design, and bid documents,
Financial and technical incompetence of contractors,
27
Lack of properly prepared contract agreement,
Deployment of unethical and corrupted or not competent project supervisors,
Non prevalence of appropriate contract monitoring and evaluation system,
Lack of transparency, accountability, and rule of low (sticking to contract agreement) in
contract management,
Lack of proper commissioning of completed projects with involvement of beneficiaries
and other relevant stakeholders.
Thus, construction quality could be maintained through alleviation of the above mentioned
problems.
(b) Service level of the middle income countries as per the indicators

(C) MDG targets of the sub-sector
The sub-sectors MDG-7 (Target-10) is to reduce by half the proportion of people without access
to safe water by 2015. Currently Ethiopia has met this target.
(d) Post MDG development targets under consideration for the sub-sector
The following are Post MDG development targets under consideration for the sub-sector by the
UN Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) for the next 15 and 25 years. They will be legal
international commitments of each member country when they are endorsed by the UN General
Assembly.
Target 2: By 2030, every one use basic drinking water supply (20-40 l/c/day with a travel time of
30 minutes or less) and hand washing facilities when at home, all schools, and health centers.
Target 3: The proportion of population not using an intermediate drinking water supply service
at home (40-60 l/c/day) has been reduced by half.
Target 4: All drinking water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services are delivered in
progressively affordable, accountable, and financially and environmentally sustainable manner.
Thus, GTP-2 is planned taking into consideration to meet the international targets within 5-10
years before the target years.

Moreover, regarding water sources and their immediate catchment protection and conservation,
WaSHCOs and urban water supply utilities are required to make it part and parcel of their regular

urban water supply utilities are also engaged in urban wastewater management activities, they are
monitored for safe disposal of effluents and sludge.
