Upholding Uncompromising Quality Standards: WASH Procurement Guidelines for Suppliers

At World Vision Zambia, our mission to deliver safe, clean water and sustainable sanitation to the most vulnerable children and communities relies heavily on the integrity of our infrastructure. To ensure the highest level of accountability and performance, our technical and supply chain teams operate strictly under World Vision's WASH Procurement Guidelines: Procedures and Standards for Suppliers. 

This comprehensive framework defines the core requirements for all goods and services entering our water, sanitation, and hygiene programs, ranging from the physical properties of uPVC and galvanised iron pipes to the precise material specifications of handpump components, solar modules, and water storage tanks. By demanding strict quality assurance records, technical compliance, and adherence to ethical business practices from our partners, we safeguard our investments against premature system failures and structural defects. Through these rigorous procurement protocols, World Vision Zambia ensures that every dollar invested translates into durable, high-quality, and resilient infrastructure that guarantees a healthier future and "life in all its fullness" for Zambian children.
