closed

The objectives of the Kenya Water and Sanitation Service Improvement Project are to: (a) increase access to reliable, affordable and sustainable water supply and sanitation services; and (b) to improve the water and wastewater services. The project would have three major components: (1) support to the Athi Water Services Board (including limited complementary support to the Water Sector Regulatory Board and the Water Appeal Board through technical assistance, goods and works); (2) support to the Coast Water Services Board; and (3) support to the Lake Victoria North Water Services Board. All three main components include the following subcomponents with respect to their region: the rehabilitation and expansion of existing water supply systems including transmission pipelines, water treatment works, storage, water distribution networks, boreholes; construction of water treatment works in Nairobi and in selected small towns; and extension of water distribution networks and metering; the rehabilitation and expansion of sewerage networks; and supporting selected equipment and activities aimed at strengthening the commercial, financial and technical operations.
