PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
The economic and political crises, as well as armed conflicts in Lebanon, have severely impacted the country's water sector. The four regional water companies responsible for the population's water supply and sanitation suffer from inadequate infrastructure, staff shortages, tight finances, and a lack of technology. This is exacerbated by an unreliable electricity supply and low water and sanitation tariffs that do not cover operating costs.
The Lebanese government, represented by the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW), has recognized the challenges of providing adequate water and sanitation services. It has defined measures in its "National Strategy for the Water Sector" primarily to improve governance, management, and infrastructure in the sector.
Improved financial and organizational conditions help the regional water companies better manage water supply and sanitation.
The project works with the MoEW to implement its strategic objectives and the "National Strategy for the Water Sector." It also offers customized and specific support for the water companies:
- The project contributes to reducing water losses. At the same time, it is building up competencies within water companies to optimize wastewater management.
It is improving the ability of selected water companies to respond more effectively to crises and emergencies. It is supporting the companies in developing emergency response plans and incorporating the accumulated experience in crisis and emergency management into long-term resilience planning.
