Cambodia: Urban Sustainable Water Supply Development

DESCRIPTION

The Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia has issued its water sector development goal to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by the year 2030. The government is committed to achieve this target and is prioritizing investments in public water utilities to expand their water treatment capacity and pipe network.

The Project Preparation Special Fund (PPSF) grant will support the preparation of the Urban Sustainable Water Supply Development Project, a project by the Government of Cambodia to addressing the growing demand for clean water in Kampot, Svay Rieng, Kampong Cham, Stung Treng, and Tbaung Khmom. The PPSF grant will be used to conduct preparatory activities to finalize project design and ensure implementation readiness. More specifically, the PPSF grant will support the preparation of a feasibility study, detailed engineering designs, and other critical studies/documents to enhance the project’s implementation readiness. When finished, and subject to the detailed feasibility study, the Project will support the rehabilitation and/or construction of integrated water supply systems in the participating towns, including raw water intake systems, a water treatment plant, water transmission system, water storage reservoirs, a water distribution system, household connections with water meters, and others.

The PPSF grant will be primarily implemented by the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation of Cambodia.
