Programme for Integral Water Management in Urban Areas
In this operation, EU grant resources (15 million euros) will once again be combined with funds from the Water Fund (three million euros) to encourage the proper management of water resources in urban environments. On this occasion, the forecast is that, with additional credit resources from the financing instrument of the AECID, FONPRODE and the IDB, a global operation of approximately $129 million can be set up. In 2020, procedures have continued to begin implementation of a new operation in Bolivia. The delegation agreement for this operation between AECID and the EU was signed in 2020.
This initiative will help the population in peri-urban areas to have new or improved access to basic sanitation services and promote integrated water resources management (IWRM) in urban areas. It is hoped that approval of the rest of the various financing packages that make up the multi-stakeholder operation can be finalised in the coming year and that, once implementation begins, synergies can be generated and the other programmes being promoted in the country can be complemented.
