Support to the Decentralisation of the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector

The Austrian funded programme for water and decentralisation in Cape Verde supports the water sector on all levels - national, district and local. Together with all relevant actors from DGASP, INGRH and local stakeholders, a 3-year programme (2005 - 2008) has been developed. In the frame of this programme a project was started for improving the municipal water supply and sanitation services in the 5 district capitals of the island Santiago, focusing on capacity building for the municipalities of Santa Catarina, São Domingos, S. Miguel, Tarrafal and Santa Cruz. This capacity building project was based on the public sector reform program elaborated in 1994, and will continue with emphasis on infrastructure rehabilitation, tariff policy development and networking of the municipal water works.
