Current status of the Water Fund
The Cooperation Fund for Water and Sanitation (Water Fund) has been awarded 800 million euros in funding from Spain up until 2020. The portfolio has been directed preferentially to rural or peri-urban areas in the most fragile countries and highly vulnerable regions. Haiti receives the most donations (119 million euros), followed by Bolivia (95 million), Paraguay (71 million) and Guatemala (67 million).
Its contributions are focused on the provision of services to guarantee access to water and sanitation for populations that lack them; assistance for the establishment of efficient, transparent and participatory management systems; and the strengthening of public institutions and bodies in recipient countries, with the aim of promoting the design and implementation of public policies that ensure the sustainability of water resources. In addition, within the framework of the Fund, Spanish Cooperation has established, a permanent dialogue with its partner countries, in coordination with the Country Partnership Frameworks, through which the strengthening of the sector is promoted.
The Great Fund also aims to enhance governance through technical cooperation and support for service delivery.
