EG INTEGRATED SANITATION & SEWERAGE INFR operates in Egypt.
The main objective of the Integrated Sanitation and Sewerage Infrastructure Project for Egypt is to contribute to the sustainable improvement in: (i) sanitation and environmental conditions for the resident communities; and (ii) the water quality in the selected drainage basins within the served areas. The project's first component is: Provision of sanitation systems within selected drainage basins through planning, designing and constructing sanitation systems for village clusters in the selected priority area within the two command areas of Mahmoudeya and Mit Yazid, falling within the Governorates of Beheira, Gharbeya and Kafr El Sheikh in the Delta. The second component is the establishment of a local result-based monitoring and evaluation system that links the improvements in sanitation coverage with anticipated environmental and health impacts. The third component is institutional development and capacity building to promote institutional development within the national and local public institutions responsible for sanitation implementation to enhance their capacity to plan, design, construct and operate the rural sanitation investments, monitor outputs and outcomes, as well as promote hygiene practices and social mobilization as a close accompaniment. The project is the first large scale effort to address rural sanitation in Egypt.
