LpWSC Highlights WASH Development at Q3 2026 PDCC Meeting as UNICEF Launches Asset Register

Today, Luapula Water Supply and Sanitation Company Limited (LpWSC) participated in the Third Quarter 2026 Provincial Development Coordinating Committee (PDCC) Meeting in Mansa, where Unicef Zambia , with financial support from KFW, officially launched the Luapula Province WASH Asset Register and handed over computer desktops to support its management and sustainability.

Hosted by LpWSC on behalf of the Province, the WASH Asset Register provides a centralized database of water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure across Luapula. The platform will support evidence-based planning, informed investment decisions, infrastructure monitoring, and improved service delivery by ensuring access to reliable and up-to-date WASH data.

To facilitate regular updating and management of the system, UNICEF handed over desktop computers to all eight districts in Luapula Province, the Commercial Utility, Provincial Health Office, Provincial Education Office, and the Department of Water Supply and Sanitation Services (DWSS). The equipment will also support the storage and management of WASH-related information across the Province.

Speaking during the launch, Luapula Province Permanent Secretary, Ms Prudence Chinama Kangwa, urged stakeholders to actively utilize the Asset Register to guide decision-making and prioritize investments in the WASH sector.

The initiative reflects the strong partnership between Government, UNICEF, KfW, LpWSC, and other stakeholders in strengthening data systems and improving access to sustainable water supply and sanitation services for the people of Luapula Province.
