These include Mpinji, Sambweni, Kirongwe and Ivuga villages in Mpinji Ward, Same District in Kilimanjaro Region.<\/p>\n<p>Eng Kundo said the government will continue working with development partners to ensure rural communities receive reliable water services within the set timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>Access to clean water has been a significant challenge in Tanzania, particularly in rural areas where infrastructure is often lacking. The government has prioritized water supply initiatives to improve public health and support economic development. The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency has played a crucial role in connecting villages to safe water sources, reflecting a broader commitment to enhance living conditions across the nation. Achieving universal access by 2030 is part of Tanzania&#8217;s strategic development goals, aiming to uplift communities and promote sustainable practices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know The Tanzanian government aims to connect all 12,333 villages to clean water by 2030.
