The objective of the Second Norte Grande Water Infrastructure Project is to increase sustainable access to sanitation and water supply services in the Norte Grande region of Argentina, by providing investments in infrastructure and supporting institutional development. There are three components to the project, the first component being water supply and sanitation infrastructure. This component include: carrying out of demand-driven subprojects consisting of the rehabilitation, upgrading and reconstruction of participating provinces: (i) wastewater collection, conveyance, treatment and disposal systems, such as wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, main collectors and secondary sewerage networks; and (ii) water supply systems including, for instance, production and distribution systems that are considered category A from their environmental impact assessment perspective. The second component is the institutional and operational development and technical assistance. Finally, the third component is the project management and supervision. This component include: a) carrying out of specialized independent technical, environmental and social supervision of subprojects' implementation, as required; and (b) carrying out of project audits and monitoring and evaluation activities under the project.
