Liberia - Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project

The proposed project in line with the Bank's Integrated Water Resources Management (IRVM) strategy is envisaged to address these issues in Monrovia and 3 county capitals (Buchanan, Kakata and Zwedru). Liberia is transiting from post-conflict recovery to long-term development; thus the project is in conformity with the Bank's strategy of rehabilitating infrastructure to jump-starting economic growth, rebuilding core state functions and institutions, and facilitating pro-poor growth. The project targets urban and peri-urban settlements as well as schools, markets and health centres in Monrovia, Buchanan, Kakata and Zwedru. The Bank's interventions in Liberia contribute directly to the achievement of GOL's development objectives aimed at providing basic services to the population and improving the performance of the service providers to ensure long-term sustainability of the water supply and sanitation sector. The Project will consolidate the Bank's continued involvement and support for the water sector in Liberia.
