Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the Green Climate Fund, this project will help the water sector in Grenada to undergo a comprehensive transformation on multiple levels. To obtain this objective, the project has __ components:

  1. Climate-resilient water governance. Under this component, a water resource management unit will be established, a climate-responsive water tariff will implemented, and there will be a cross-sectoral mainstreaming of climate resilience into policies, plans, and regulations of water-related sectors.
  2. Climate-resilient water users. This component aims to strengthen adaptive capacity and reduce risk exposure through creating a challenge fund to promote the adoption of water-efficient solutions in the agriculture and tourism sectors. It will also raise awareness of the issues through awareness, education, and outreach.
  3. Climate resilient water supply systems. This component involves investments in infrastructure to assure water availability, increasing existing potable water storage capacity in medical centers, nd reduce disruptions in Grenada's water supply systems. 
  4. Additional contributions of the water sector to Grenada's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Climate Agreement. In this component, strategies for reducing water loss will be implemented.
  5. Regional learning and replication. This component allows fo the creation of best practice sharing mechanisms and learnings in the region.
