El Salvador Water Sector Resilience Project

About this project

The proposed US$100 million Water Sector Resilience Project will be the first World Bank water supply and sanitation operation in El Salvador. Upon Government request, the Project's physical interventions will focus on improving the quality and efficiency of water supply services in the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador (MASS), which houses about 30 percent of the country's population. Through these improvements, the Project intends to enhance the beneficiaries resilience to climate change-exacerbated droughts, storms, and floods and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed Project will support the implementation of priority no-regret actions identified in ANDA's recently adopted Business Plan, while developing planning instruments for longer-term resilience and sustainability of services. Component 1: Improve the quality, reliability and efficiency of water service provision in selected areas of El Salvador (US$80 million). This component will increase the quality and efficiency of water services by financing works, goods, and services aimed at improving the resilience of water supply infrastructure and water service delivery for the at-risk and underserved population in the urban and peri-urban areas of San Salvador. The investments will make the target population less vulnerable to climate-induced drought and water shortages by encouraging rational use of water and enhancing water availability through reduced physical water losses and improved continuity of water…
