- Rationale
-
Many water and sanitation entities have dilapidated physical facilities and experience difficulties in providing safe, reliable and adequate drinking water and sanitation services to customers, particularly the urban poor. The unprecedented economic and social crisis in recent years has exacerbated this situation. The proposed Water Supply and Sanitationn Sector Project is needed to strengthen the water supply and sanitation systems and prevent further deterioration. By rehabilitating the infrastructure and improving the operational and management capabilities of the water and sanitation enterprises (PDAMs), the Project will improve the efficiency and reliability of the services.
- Objectives and Scope
-
The project will be formulated in the context of the Government's water supply and sanitation sector policy framework which is currently being finalized. The Project aims to improve public health standards, living conditions, and the environment through the provision of water supply and environmental sanitation services. The Project will support local governments and water enterprises to enhance their capability and capacity for delivery and expansion of the services with particular emphasis in providing services to the urban poor. The physical scope will include rehabilitation of water supply and sanitation facilities in the medium- and small-sized cities, with high incidence of poverty. Emphasis will be placed on improvement of services, operational procedures, and management of PDAMs.
- Policy Dialogue
-
Policy dialogue will be pursued to: (i) improve financial management, viability and cost recovery of PDAMs;
(ii) develop the institutional capability and capacity of PDAMs to deliver efficient and effective water and sanitation services to customers; and
(iii) strengthen operational and management practices of PDAMs.
