The goal of the project is to improve health and living conditions in selected communities of Peru by strengthening the capacity of municipal authorities to provide water and sanitation services and by improving water and sanitation infrastructure. The project helps to strengthen the municipalities' capacity to design, operate and maintain infrastructure, as well as strengthening their administrative capacities. The capacity building is achieved through a mix of training, coaching and learning-by-doing while implementing water and sanitation projects. The project also contributes to rebuilding and rehabilitating key components of the water and sanitation infrastructure in the city of Ica following the August 2007 earthquake in Peru.
