Abstract

Water and sanitation situation is worse for the cities within the developing countries like Lusaka city of Zambia. currently more than 2 billion people have been estimated to be living at a reduced access to freshwater resources and by 2050 at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected that lack proper supply of water and sanitation services. Fortunately progress has been scored in some countries of the developed world like Finland whereby n developed communities over 90 of the worlds population now has access to improved sources of drinking water. This is therefore good platform for insight for the cities of the developing world. According to the sustainable development goal number 6 of water and sanitation the accessibility of clean water and good sanitation services for every community is an important human endeavor. However this is not so and it is because of an array of many reasons coupled with bad economics or poor infrastructure a lot of communities do not have access to adequate water supply and sanitation services. This study set out to understand the Finish sustainable development of water and sanitation system and what insights Lusaka can learn from such undertaking. This review assessed management approaches employed in water supply and sanitation service provision in selected parts of Lusaka Zambia following the 1994 Water Sector Reforms in Zambia. One of the successful sustainable development ideas of Lusaka is that of the faecal sludge system which has been presented in this paper to show some strides that Lusaka has scored in this area. In the Lusaka sanitation case study the purpose of the review is to try to contribute towards measures meant to address the sanitation service delivery model for urban and peri-urban areas of Lusaka. In conclusion to improve sanitation and access to drinking water there is need to increase investment in management of freshwater ecosystems and sanitation facilities on a local level in Zambia and other several developing countries within Sub-Saharan Africa.
