📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS) completed a total of 162 drinking water and rural sanitation works during 2023, which allowed inhabitants of the most remote areas of the country to have quality basic services in their homes for the first time.
These projects were carried out by the National Rural Sanitation Program (PNSR) of the MVCS, benefiting 67766 residents with access to water and 82,146 to sanitation.
The works, valued at S/ 940.8 million, were implemented in 19 regions of Peru through the modalities of direct execution, executing nucleus and transfer of resources to subnational governments.
The departments that benefited from these works were Amazonas, Ancash, Apurímac, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Ica, Junín, La Libertad, Loreto, Madre de Dios, Moquegua, Pasco, Piura, Puno, San Martín and Ucayali.
In these regions, 20076 new drinking water connections were installed and 4151 connections rehabilitated; as well as 24,503 new excreta sanitary disposal connections, with the implementation of basic sanitation units (UBS) made up of toilets, showers, sinks and multipurpose laundry.
With these interventions, beneficiary families now have a safe space to adopt healthy hygiene practices, which will reduce the incidence of diarrheal and parasitic diseases in their community.
It should be noted that, during 2023, in addition to the completed works, 135 drinking water and rural sanitation projects were initiated in 20 regions.
