Delegated cooperation in Bolivia

This program benefits from a donation of 3 million euro from the Water Fund and another 15 million euro, including administration and management costs, delegated by the European Union, in addition to other financiers, such as the IADB, with a loan of 85.5 million euro, and FONPRODE, with 25.6 million euro. Together, they will generate a total of 129.1 million euro. This initiative helps the peri-urban population have new or improved access to essential sanitation services. It promotes IWRM in urban areas, with the objective, among others, of reducing the impact of climate change on the population. The Program will finance interventions for expanding and improving drinking water and sanitation services, focusing on measures to mitigate water supply crises caused by droughts. Still, it will also contribute to comprehensively enhancing water supply and demand management. Implementation began in July 2021, and throughout 2022, the program’s operational documents and the bidding processes for the sanitation projects in the towns of Viacha and Tucsupaya have been launched.
