This applied research, supported by PRO-WASH and Strengthening Capacity in Agriculture, Livelihoods, and Environment (SCALE), investigates some of the difficulties in adopting MUS, as well as the ways RFSA partners are tackling these difficulties, including innovative, context-specific strategies for improving MUS operation, access, reliability, and sustainability. The focus is on two RFSA partner areas in Zimbabwe (Amalima Loko and Takunda), but the resulting tools, guidance, and findings are more generally relevant to BHA partners and active projects supporting food security and WASH activities.
