The Government of Malawi through Blantyre Water Board (BWB) has applied for financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the Malawi Water and Sanitation Project-1 (MWSP-1) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

The objective of the MWSP is to increase access to improved water supply and sanitation services in Blantyre metropolitan area and to enhance the operational and financial efficiency of the Blantyre Water Board. The project has four (components). Component 3 of the MWSP-1 is supporting institutional development activities aimed at enhancing BWB"s financial efficiency and governance systems, improving BCC"s capacity to manage sanitation services and supporting the water sector investment planning and policy development to enhance the sustainability of urban water services. Some of the activities under this component shall include preparation of a baseline report through collection of primary data on the pre-intervention situation.

The baseline is expected to inform project planning and establish benchmarks for assessing the project impact and outcomes at different stages of project implementation. The study will, among others, establish a reference point on water supply and sanitation coverage, levels of service, water use patterns and key service delivery gaps. The BWB would like therefore to engage a consultant to undertake consultancy services for Baseline Survey.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include undertaking a Baseline Survey to provide a clear picture of the current status of clean water supply coverage within Blantyre Water Board supply area, as well as status of sanitation coverage in the focus area. The Consultancy shall be completed within a period of six (6) calendar months. The assignment is expected to start in August 2023.
