agenda on a greater focus on water- related issues. Scope of the CCPS-HWTS
The CCPS encompasses HWTS interventions in both rural and urban areas. It integrates HWTS operations of governmental and nongovernmental stakeholders including Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), Commercial companies, Civil Societies, individuals, and groups within Tanzania national borders. It concerns application of measures to gain safety of water at households or communal points of use (such as in schools, markets, or disaster gatherings) in relation to control waterborne diseases. HWTS will be concerned with efforts to increase access to safe water but only limited to promotion and advocacy and not actual provision of safe water supply services. This CCPS will be operational for a period of 5 years between 2011 and 5016.

1. Rationale
Diarrhoea kills many children and causes suffering to significant percent of young and adult population. Safe water, an important media for the disease control is not accessible to most in need. There is a compelling need to take concerted actions and employ HWTS in the control of water born diseases to safeguard health of populations, particularly the poor and vulnerable. While it is effective and cost effective to promote HWTS for health gains, appropriate water treatment methods are currently under utilized and the present infrastructure is inadequate to promote them.
At this juncture it has been important that a national plan of action is formed in order to transform HWTS into a practical water safety solution that will bring health gains to people who needs it. CCPS- HWTS provides an appropriate framework for implementation of HWTS and suitable mechanism for coordination of actors. The CCPS is a tool for mobilization of resources, and enhancing utilization of best scientific knowledge and affordable technologies to bring the health benefits of HWTS to people. As a planning tool the CCPS puts together missions of many stakeholders into a common framework that will help to objectively define and address common targets.
