Project description: 

The Lusaka Sanitation Programme was instituted to provide adequate sanitation facilities to the urban population of Lusaka. Four funding agencies are cooperating to provide the necessary funds to undertake the Lusaka Sanitation Programme (LSP). 

Overall, the programme will have a total budget of EUR 240 million.

This component of the programme is funded by AfDB with a total value of works of EUR 31 million. The scope of the works covered under this assignment will include the design and construction supervision of extensive sewer network expansions (final design and preparation of bill of quantities for: expansion of 365 km sewer pipes, ranging from DN 150 to DN 1000 in 7 areas of Lusaka and rehabilitation of 70 km sewer pipes, ranging from DN 150 to DN 300; supervision of: 125km of DN 160-500), which have been designed to minimise resettlement requirements, construction of house connections (160 km sewer pipes, DN110), replacement and upgrade of existing trunk sewers (8.5 km of ND 400-1200), the rehabilitation of 1 sewage pumping station, a number of 23 sewage pumping stations (3 will be constructed under the supervision), wastewater treatment upgrades and faecal sludge management facilities (located at two sites).

The project will provide sanitation improvements in the areas Matero, parts of industrial area and Kaunda Square of Lusaka and approx. 88,500 residents will benefit from the AfDB financed part of the Lusaka Sanitation Programme. The design was done for the areas George, Matero, Industrial, Sikanze, Chamba Valley, Kamanga and Kaunda Square. The reduced quantity in supervision in comparison to the design is due to limited available funds.
