| Project Detail |
The water and sanitation sector support programme is funded under the Indicative Cooperation Programme “Development-Climate-Energy”, conceived as Luxembourgs response to support the socio-economic and environmental development policies and strategies of Cabo Verde during the period 2021–2025. The programme is a continuation of Luxembourgs previous interventions in Cabo Verde. It aims to contribute to ensuring universal access to safe drinking water of adequate quality and quantity, at an affordable price, as well as to ensure quality sanitation services, in Cabo Verde, particularly by the most vulnerable families. Aligned with the strategic plan for the water and sanitation sector, in line with the sustainable development goal 6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, based on the principle of the human right to water and sanitation enshrined by the United Nations. The programme foresees a national coverage and to contribute to this major change by developing actions to increase the sustainability of water supply and wastewater services in economic, social and environmental dimensions. It also aims to ensure that its interventions are comprehensive and provide more equity among the islands, while strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion through the country. In particular, it will participate in: increasing water availability (quantity, quality, pressure); reducing the cost of water; and ensuring sustainable access to sanitation services. Luxembourg Cooperation will continue to build the capacities of the countrys water and sanitation sector institutions, whether through training or by supporting institutional, organisational and regulatory modernisation. The final beneficiaries are the entire Cape Verdean population and society, including businesses and other organisations, who will benefit from sustainable quality water and sanitation services. |
