Published purpose

This project supports the water and sanitation components of two UNICEF programs in Bolivia: PROANDES and AMAZONIA. The main activity of the project is the construction of small-scale water and sanitation facilities in designated rural municipalities in the departments of Beni, Pando, Potosi, Cochabamba, Oruro, and Chuquisaca. At the same time, hygiene education programs are organized through municipal and department-level technical units. The project also helps to establish and build the capacity of community water and sanitation committees, as well as building capacity within municipal-level technical and infrastructure units. Finally, through this project CIDA engages in water and sanitation policy dialogue at the departmental and national levels.
