Delegated cooperation in Bolivia
Support to the Water and Sewerage Programme in Urban and Peri-Urban Areas
Support to the Water and Sewerage Programme in Urban and Peri-Urban Areas
125.5 million to invest in various cities and peri-urban areas of Bolivia has been made possible thanks to the articulation of multiple actors and financing mechanisms. On the one hand, the Water Fund provides five million euro in donations, to which the European Union adds another 15 million euro through the LAIF funds delegated to Spain. On the other hand, it has the national contribution of Bolivia (22 million euro), an IADB loan of 55 million euro, and complementary funds from the Spain-Bolivia debt swap program of 27 million euros.
This project aims at expanding and improving the access to water and sanitation services for more than 200 000 people while enhancing sector governance in Bolivia. Furthermore, national policy for integrated water resources management will be strengthened, reducing the impact of climate change on the poorest segments of Bolivian society.
