Water and Sanitation Programme in Dispersed Rural Communities in the Municipality of Portoviejo
In 2020, the EU Delegation Agreement was approved for the Water and Sanitation Programme in Dispersed Rural Communities in the Municipality of Portoviejo, complementary to a bilateral FCAS programme, another Development Promotion Fund (FONPRODE) operation in the pipeline and an EU cooperation project. The EU Delegation Agreement was signed on 15 December 2020.
The project has significant positive impacts, both social and environmental, and aims to ensure the participation of the beneficiary population through the socialisation of the programme in all its phases, in order to achieve the sustainability of the systems.
The blending operation in which this action is included is financed through various contributions from the EIB, FONPRODE and IDB as a loan, AECID-FCAS and the EU as a donation, and the Decentralised Autonomous Government of Portoviejo in its capacity as a national partner.
The direct beneficiaries of the funded intervention will be approximately 79,000 people.
