Nepal: Kathmandu Valley Water Management Support
The TA will help the Government carry out the overall sector reform that is required to improve the water supply and sanitation services in Kathmandu Valley on a sustainable basis. The sector reform comprises institutional reforms, including establishment of the National Water Supply Regulatory Board (NWSRB) and the Kathmandu Valley Water Authority (KVWA), and introduction of a Private Sector Participation (PSP) scheme with recruitment of a Private Operator (PO). The Project is closely linked to the enhanced bulk water supply under the Melamchi Water Supply Project, which is expected to become available in 2008.
