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.
This project finances improvements in the planning and implementation capacity of water sector institutions and increased access to water supply services in selected urban towns and rural districts. This includes four components: i) Supporting the development of the key sector institution; ii) Develop a framework for the coordination, planning, and implementation of water and sanitation in rural and peri-urban; iii) Support the expansion of water and sanitation services to urban areas, specifically in district and provincial towns; and iv) Allow for the rapid reallocation of funds from other components to provide emergency relief, recovery, and reconstruction support in the event of a natural disaster, emergency and/or catastrophic event.
