Morocco Urban WS&S Access Pilots

closed

The objective of the Improved Access to Water and Sewerage Services Project in Morocco is to provide sustainable access to combined water and sewerage services to peri-urban 'quartiers' with high levels of 'vulnerable' households. The project will be coordinated and administered by the Ministry of Interior, and implemented by the three incumbent providers of water supply and sewerage services in the three selected urban centers, namely Casablanca, Tangiers, and Meknes. All participating utilities will promote the 'National Initiative for Human Development-Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (INDH-GPOBA) connection program' to households in the selected 'quartiers', will receive applications from individual households, make connections and be reimbursed a pre-agreed amount upon evidence of a functional and used connection. The pilot project will make payments to service providers out of a common "OBA fund" that will form the basis for a later scale up into a national OBA program.
