The development objective of the Lake Titicaca Local Sustainable Development Project of Bolivia is to contribute to local sustainable development in the Bolivian part of the Lake Titicaca watershed. This will include: (i) facilitating local activities that support tourism development and cultural protection in the communities surrounding the Lake, and (ii) improving basic water and sanitation services. The Project has three main components: (1) Support to Tourism Development and Cultural Protection, which will support activities that promote quality of life, strengthen cultural identity, provide critical tourism infrastructure, and improve economic development for local communities within the Lake Titicaca Basin; (2) Basic Services, which will facilitate access to improved services and infrastructure in prioritized municipalities and communities within the Lake Basin through the Vice Ministry of Tourism and Basic Services; and (3) Institutional Strengthening and Project Management, which will enhance the land-use planning and management capacity of municipalities within the Lake Titicaca Basin through the municipal strategic and land-use plans. The component will also enhance the development and annual updating of technical and social data - the Lake's water quality and natural habitat, as well as quality of life indicators for the communities surrounding the Lake. This will be supported through the creation of an annual "State of the Lake" Report.
