| Project Detail |
The objective of the Water Supply and Sewage Systems Improvement Project (WSSSIP) for West Bank and Gaza is to improve the quality and efficiency of water supply and wastewater service provision in Gaza by (i) rehabilitating and expanding existing water and wastewater systems, and (ii) enhancing the capacity of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) to sustain water and wastewater services. The additional financing will help finance the costs associated with the scaling-up of project activities in response to circumstances arising during implementation, and specifically it would finance rehabilitating water and wastewater infrastructure damaged in Gaza as a result of the conflict that took place from July 5 to August 26, 2014. It will finance civil works, goods, consulting services, non-consulting services, training, operating costs and recurrent costs to: (i) conduct the most urgent repairs to damage water and wastewater systems in order to restore basic water and wastewater services; and (ii) restore and enhance the capacity of the CMWU to deliver these services. |
