LAIF Programme: Supporting the Water and Sewerage Programme in Urban and Peri-urban Areas
Through strategic investments in infrastructure, together with support for improved service delivery and water resources management, resilience to droughts and floods in urban populations will be strengthened. EU funds will cover essential aspects such as planning (water, sanitation and sustainable urban drainage plans), design of appropriate infrastructure, water resources management and water and sanitation service management. This programme will also include strategic investments aimed at introducing innovative solutions in the sector such as a wastewater treatment research centre which can provide appropriate solutions, adapted to the specific Bolivian context.
The remaining funds are mainly directed towards investments in services with more traditional drinking water and sanitation infrastructure, with a part also being reserved for pre-investment studies and master plans.
In 2020, due to the impact on the political, social and health situation in the country, progress was very limited, but it is expected to be able to resume momentum in 2021.
