DFID 8114 Independent Data Verification of the Payment by Results Scheme in the Rural Water Sub-Sector in Tanzania Contract Award

Tender description

DFID leads the UK's efforts in fighting poverty around the world. In Tanzania, the UK has committed up to £150 million to improving rural water supply and sanitation. Approximately £70 million is allocated to a Payment by Result scheme, which aims to incentivize Local Government Authorities (LGAs) to focus on effective monitoring and maintenance of their water infrastructures. This will enhance the resilience and long term sustainability of rural water supply in Tanzania. The scope of the requirement is the undertaking of four Independent Data Verification Exercises (IDVEs) in four separate years by the DVSP. An IDVE is an annual data verification requirement in which the DVSP will assess the quality of data reported by LGAs and the CDMT. The results of each IDVE will be used to determine the magnitude of results-based incentive payments to be made to each LGA.
