Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Security and Resilience Improvement Project

proposed

The proposed PNG Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Security and Resilience Investment Program (PNG-UWSSSRIP) will support Water PNG to finance priority short- to medium- term capital investments and associated capacity building activities, needed to expand improved water supply and sanitation services in PNG in line with the utility's corporate plans, and the Government of PNG's sector development objectives. The phased implementation and proposed investment packages under the multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) are aligned with capital works program prioritized under the 20-year Port Moresby Water and Sanitation Master Plan and supporting activities to be completed by Water PNG by 2040. The indicative program is envisioned to be implemented over a 10-year period with 3 tranches funding systematically linked components and a repeat of similar town water supply projects in different geographical areas. Tranche 1 will include the 5 components described below. Tranches 2 and 3 will fund the programmed infrastructure components under the Port Moresby Water and Sanitation Masterplan and priority provincial towns identified in Water PNG's corporate and investment plan.
