Published purpose
The project operates in five sub-watersheds in Northern Nicaragua, comprising the headwaters of the Rio Viejo and the Estero Real. The selected watersheds are located in the departments of Madriz, Nueva Segovia, Matagalpa, Leon, Esteli, and Jinotega. The project includes two components: 1) Governance / Institutional Strengthening: The project focuses on improving service delivery by municipalities in the context of water-related initiatives. This component develops the capacity of municipalities' technical units to plan, manage finances, efficiently and effectively manage operations, and respond to community needs. 2) Private Sector Development / Environment / Watershed Management: This component works with watershed users to improve natural resource management for environmental protection and agricultural production, in the context of sub-watershed plans and municipal water resource plans. This is achieved through improving production methods, soil and water conservation, improved waste management, agro-forestry, and capacity building.
