| Project Detail |
The Additional Financing of the Lake Victoria Environmental Management (Phase 2) Project (LVEMP 2) for the Africa region will contribute towards the achievement of the East African Community (EAC) Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) development vision and strategy of having: a prosperous population living in a healthy and sustainably managed environment providing equitable opportunities and benefits to the riparian communities. The additional financing is for implementation of expanded activities that scale up the project’s impact, i.e. additional watershed management subprojects in existing focal areas, construction or expansion of sanitation and sewerage facilities that were designed but not implemented under the original project due to funding constraints, and expansion and deepening of cleaner production programs. The additional financing represents roughly 20 percent of the original project financing, but is expected to increase most of the key quantitative results by 30 percent or more. These additional investments will occur primarily in Kenya and Tanzania, whilst Uganda will continue to implement and complete its existing work program, having previously suffered implementation delays. Activities at the regional level will primarily concern consolidation, analysis and dissemination of project and Basin monitoring data from the national teams, and Basin-wide analysis and planning for preparation of a future phase of LVEMP1. The AF phase will be used to actively engage a range of partners with a view to strengthening partnerships and programmatic coordination of Lake Victoria Basin investments for the next phase of LVEMP. |
