Project Detail |
Project description
The project will finance physical investments in urban and rural areas as well as institutional
development activities to increase water security and help manage climate extremes, from the national
and basin levels to the municipal level. The linkage between water supply, water resources management,
and drought preparedness and contingency planning at several spatial scales, with coordinated actors, is
the foundation of water security and coping with climate extremes, addressed through the following
components:
Component 1: Strengthening Water Services for Water Security in Urban and Rural Areas. This
component will focus on strengthening water supply and sanitation service provision in urban and rural
areas of selected provinces, including rehabilitation and expansion of water supply services in urban and
peri-urban areas, maintenance and repairs of rural water supply systems (new rural investments are in
Component 2), and technical assistance to ensure investment sustainability in both urban and rural
contexts. Furthermore, activities under this component will link water supply and sanitation in the urban
and rural contexts with water resources management at the basin and municipal scales, including drought
preparedness and contingency plans at the provincial and the municipal levels |
