| Project Detail |
The project entails comprehensive investments in sanitation infrastructure combining sewerage systems, waste water treatment, sewerage and improved non-network sanitation. The project also aims at strengthening DWASA’s capacity and improve coordination for sanitation service delivery. The project includes the following components: 1. Sector Support for sanitation services delivery (USD15 million): Capacity building to strengthen DWASA to manage sanitation services efficiently, citizens engagement to connect to sanitation systems and technical assistance to support coordination in the sanitation subsector. 2. Waste water treatment and sewerage system (USD290 million): Construction of two trunk mains, construction of new secondary and tertiary network, including house service connections, as well as construction of a Waste Water Treatment Plant. 3. Non-network sanitation (USD10 million): Testing and demonstrating feasibility of locally-adapted collection and treatment solutions on a pilot basis. 4. Project Implementation and management (USD15 million): Project management support to DWASA in implementing and monitoring all project-related activities. The project is expected to benefit about 1.8 million people, including people in low income settlements, in the Pagla catchment area of Dhaka. While most of the beneficiaries will be connected to the central sewerage system, about 225.000 will benefit from improved non-network sanitation, which is implemented on a pilot basis to demonstrate the feasibility of interim solutions where sewers cannot be built in the short to medium-term. Objective To provide improved and sustainable sanitation services in selected areas of Dhaka city |
