Executive Committee

Examination and appraisal of proposals for financing from the Fund

The Executive Committee is the decision-making body of the Water Fund, responsible for approving the Fund’s annual accounts and deciding on new programs. This Committee met three times during the year 2022. During these meetings, information was provided on the reimbursement of funds received between 2021 and 2022, and proposals for two new programs to reuse these funds were shared.

The Committee evaluated these two initiatives and decided to approve them. These two interventions were the «Cooperation Program for the Promotion of Human Rights to Water and Sanitation in Rural Communities» in Ecuador, for an amount of 10,171,444.92 euro, and the «Program to Strengthen Municipal and Community Water Management, with sustainable policies and operators with a gender focus that guarantee the human rights to water and sanitation, and a healthy environment» in the municipality of Suchitoto, in El Salvador, for an amount of 3,000,000 euro.
