closed

The project would support the Government's service goals in the sector, improve water supply service levels in Ecuador's largest city and strengthen the Guayaquil Municipal Water Supply Company (EMAP-G) by improving its managerial, technical and financial performance. It would include components to: (1) expand the water supply system; (ii) improve EMAP-G's operations; and (iii) undertake studies related to future system expansion, rehabilitation and organization. As a result, the project would directly benefit about 0.9 million people, of which 68 percent would be the urban poor. Furthermore, the project would help improve EMAP-G's efficiency and financial performance.
