Title:
Sierra Leone - Freetown Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Aquatic Environment Revamping Project (WASHAERP)
Detail:
The Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Aquatic Environment Revamping Project (WASHAERP) covers the greater Freetown area, the capital city of Sierra Leone. The project includes measures to institutionalise the Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) approach and in particular provide for sustainable management of the Freetown peninsular water-shed. It is intended to provide the necessary complementarity and maximise the impact of DFID’s early effort, which is limited to rehabilitation of some of the key elements of the dilapidated Freetown water supply infrastructure. The project will also complement the institutional reforms supported through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Threshold Program which is focused on improving the performance and sustainability of the water utility, the Guma Valley Water Company (GVWC). Its implementation will improve access to safe water supply by 15% and access to improved sanitation by 7% in Sierra Leone. The total cost is estimated at UA 135.12 million, including Fund's contribution of UA 10 million for an implementation period of sixty-six (66) months.
