dc.description In most of the developing countries specifically in Africa, the quality supply of safe and healthy water services has been a nightmare for the past decades. This study aimed at assessing the challenges and opportunities for water supply projects implementation in informal settlements in Tanzania. The study specifically looked at the extent to which financial resources influence the implementation of successful water supply projects in informal settlements, opportunities of investing in water supply projects in Dar es Salaam informal settlements as well as the factors influencing successful implementation of the implementation of water supply projects in Dar es Salaam informal settlements. The study was conducted in Dar es Salaam, concentrating on areas where most of the residents are living in informal settlements. The wards of Mwananyamala, Manzese, Tandale, Mbagala, Buguruni and Tandika were used as the areas with mushrooming of informal settlements the case study research design was employed in the study which was DAWASA the responsible authority of ensuring quality water supply in the informal settlements. The study has discovered that revealed that the availability of quality water supply in the informal settlements of Dar es Salaam is not satisfactory. The study further discovered that the financial strength of DAWASA to run the water supply projects in the informal settlements is weak despite the support from the stakeholders. Despite the challenges facing DAWASA, the authority is still having the opportunities implementing water supply projects in the informal settlements due to the number of factors such as the increase of water service demand which attracts the investors in the water service projects. The study recommends DAWASA to develop strategies of attracting stakeholders from the private sector through Private Public Partnership (PPPs) to finance the waters supply projects in the informal settlements particularly as well as increasing the level of water service bills collection.
