of society at large. The study was carried out in Ward 22, Chipinge district in Manicaland province, Zimbabwe.
Interviews and group discussions were held with community people, Rural District Council personnel
and UNICEF personnel. Community-based Management of water supply and sanitation in the Ward was a
success because of the meaningful contribution of both men and women. This led to empowerment of women,
effectiveness and efficiency, increased coverage, community development among other positive impacts. This
