On behalf of the Board of Directors of Tanathi Water Works Development Agency (TAWWDA), I am pleased to have the opportunity to spearhead the Agency in achieving its goals and objectives as stipulated in the strategic plan for the period covering 2018/19-2022/23. This Strategic Plan is a roadmap that reflects the changes in the water sector brought about by the Water Act 2016 toward the realization of universal access to Water and Sanitation coverage.  The Strategic Plan takes cognizance of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Kenya’s Vision 2030, and the Water Act 2016 and has been aligned to the Medium Term Plan III (the ‘Big Four’ Agenda) and Medium Term Expenditure Framework 2018-2022.

The Strategy has been reviewed and prepared in strict adherence to the guidelines on the preparation of the Fourth Generation Strategic Plan provided by the National Treasury and Planning in July 2018. It is a result of an extensive consultative and participatory process. The plan takes into account the mandate of the Board of Directors under the Water Act 2016 and is aligned with Kenya's long-term development agenda as expressed in the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans (and the ‘Big Four’ Agenda).

 Our Strategic Plan is geared towards the achievement of universal access to water and sanitation as defined in Sustainable Development Goal No. 6. It was prepared through wide consultative engagements of both internal and external key stakeholders and focuses on six key strategic result areas  which are as follows;

1. Water Coverage
2. Sanitation Coverage
3. Resource Mobilization
4. Human Capital Capacity
5. Information Communication Technology Capacity
6. Governance, Legal and Institutional Framework

The delivery of water and sewerage infrastructure in our  Strategic Plan will entirely depend on financial support from the Government of Kenya (GoK) and other development partners. I, therefore, expect closer partnership and collaboration between TAWWDA and all stakeholders in ensuring access to adequate, clean, and safe water and sanitation for all.

Thank you all. God bless Kenya.
