📋 Tender Overview
Program promoted by the MVCS, OTASS and executed by UE 002 guarantees safe supply to families in 40 sectors that do not have access to the service.More than 13 thousand vulnerable people in the Tumbes region will have free access to drinking water thanks to the distribution program using tanker trucks promoted by the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, through the Technical Agency of the Administration of Sanitation Services (OTASS) with the aim of guaranteeing the supply of the resource to families that do not have continuous access to the service.
This intervention has been executed by the Executing Unit 002 Tumbes Sanitation Services, administered by the agency, as part of the actions aimed at strengthening social care and reducing the gaps in access to drinking water in urban sectors in conditions of poverty and extreme poverty.
The program began on May 18 in Tumbes and is currently supplying families in 40 prioritized sectors through four tanker trucks with a capacity of 18 cubic meters each, allowing the safe and timely distribution of water resources.
More than 3 thousand have already been served
According to the accumulated report according to UE 002, to date 736 cubic meters of drinking water have been distributed, directly benefiting 3,355 people of the 13 thousand set as a goal of care in the Tumbes region.
This intervention, which will culminate in December of this year, seeks not only to guarantee access to drinking water for thousands of vulnerable families, but also to contribute to reducing health risks and protecting the health of the population, especially children, older adults and people in vulnerable situations.
The execution of the program in Tumbes is possible thanks to a transfer of S/ 2.6 million approved through RM 084-2026-VIVIENDA, resources intended to strengthen operational and logistical actions for the free distribution of drinking water.
It should be noted that these types of interventions are part of the Housing sectors commitment to bringing essential services to the families who need them most, prioritizing access to drinking water in vulnerable areas of the country.
The articulated work between the MVCS, the OTASS and the providing entities allows us to strengthen social care in regions where there are still gaps in access to drinking water, contributing to improving the living conditions and well-being of thousands of Tumbesian families.
