Kenya Urban Water and Sanitation OBA Fund for Low Income Areas

closed

The objective of the Kenya Urban Water and Sanitation OBA Fund for Low-income Areas is to increase the number of people in low income areas with access to improved water supply and sanitation services. This objective will be realized by incentivizing urban WSPs to invest in water supply and sanitation improvement subprojects to benefit households in low income areas by applying one-off OBA subsidies to make water and sanitation access affordable. The components of the project are implementation of support activities, project management, sub-project preparation and supervision and independent verification. This component seeks to ensure effective management of the project in line with the World Bank fiduciary obligations. The second component is OBA subsidies for water and sanitation subprojects. It will provide OBA subsidies for sub-project investments made by WSPs to ensure that low income areas benefit from this expansion and improved services.
