CHRA to meet Munich Delegation
Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA)
October 22, 2009

The Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) will meet a Delegation from Munich City, Germany today the 22nd of October 2009. The meeting is as a result of the long standing relationship between the Munich City and CHRA. The Delegation consists of the Mayor of Munich City, Munich city Council officials and representatives of HAMUPA.

The delegation comes at a time when the residents of Harare are facing a myriad of challenges in service delivery especially water supplies, health and waste management. The meeting will be a platform for CHRA and the delegates to exchange ideas on local governance issues as well as to explore ways by which Munich can work together with the City of Harare and CHRA to resuscitate and improve municipal service delivery in Harare. Meanwhile, the CHRA team has already met the delegates at a reception that was conducted at Town House on the 20th of October 2009. The CHRA team also accompanied the delegates on a tour of the Morton Jeffery Water works as well as the City's Kevin Waste Management Depot. The tour was an eye opener for the delegates as they had first hand experience of the challenges that the City of Harare is facing in terms of the critical equipment that is needed for the resuscitation of waste management projects as well as water and sewer reticulation. The meeting with the delegates is one of the numerous efforts by CHRA towards engaging different partners in addressing service delivery challenges in Harare.

CHRA remains committed to advocating for good and transparent local governance as well lobbying for quality and affordable municipal services.
