Lesotho - Lowlands Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project

The Lowlands Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project in the Districts of Berea and Maseru along routes of the Metolong Dam Water Supply Project primary and secondary pipes consists of basic rural water and sanitation infrastructure, environmental health support for communities in the project area, as well as capacity building and project management. The Project is an extension of the Metolong Dam Water Supply Program (MDWSP) promoting the Bank’s Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) policy. The project promotes the use of existing water resources on equitable and sustainable manner and extends the benefit from the MDWSP to the rural population. Bank’s involvement would therefore add value to the sector dynamics based on its rich experience. The Project also promotes donor coordination as it complements the intervention under MDWSP supported by nine donors.
