DESCRIPTION

The objective of this project is to reinforce the efficiency and technical and financial sustainability of the National Institute of Potable Water and Sewage System (INAPA) and the Santiago’s Water and Sewage Corporation (CORAASAN). LACIF and AFD seek to enhance the efficiency of the water services and reduce the discharge of wastewater into the environment in Dominican Republic.

This project contributes to the investment programmes in the water and sanitation sector made by INAPA, active in rural and peri-urban areas, and CORAASAN, active in the city and in the province of Santiago, reinforcing their efficiency and sustainability at the same time. The project includes investments in water and sanitation infrastructure, capacity building and technical support to ensure quality, efficiency, and sustainability of services.

RESULTS
  • Wider coverage and continuity of service without increasing water production.
  • Reduced discharge of wastewater and pollution.
  • Network rehabilitation and reduced leaks.
  • Positive impact on public health, poverty reduction and climate change adaptation.
