GZ-Water Sector Capacity Building

closed

The objective of the Water Sector Capacity Building Project is to strengthen the capacity of the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) to more effectively plan, monitor, and regulate water sector development in the West Bank and Gaza. There are three components to the project, the first component being advisory support, technical assistance and capacity building to be provided by the Technical Planning and Advisory Team (TPAT). The second component is the supplementary assistance for studies and training. This component will finance for additional studies and training not contemplated in the TPAT scope, but identified in TPAT-developed action-plans (e.g. master plans, development of standards, staff training, and feasibility studies for selected projects to be identified during the first six months of implementation). The identification and implementation of these tasks is PWA's responsibility, and the funding will accelerate their implementation. Finally, the third component is the project management. This component will finance for incremental operating and consultant costs to be incurred by PWA for managing TPAT and second component activities in accordance with the reporting, financial management, and procurement requirements of the World Bank and donor partners.
