Development of a Financing Mechanism for Rural Water Systems in Rwanda
The existing financing modalities in Rwanda's water supply and sanitation sector are highly fragmented, in a context of otherwise remarkable progress in the water sector reform and harmonisation. The Government of Rwanda is therefore interested in exploring mechanisms which can assist in financing the rural water and sanitation sector, including in particular piped systems. At present funding is being handled either through the central government budget, while the responsibility for service provision is vested in the local governments, or through project modalities. The new mechanism will have to provide appropriate channels for government funding as well as for donors that are not able to or not interested in providing budget support, and ensure appropriate involvement of local governments.
The objective of the assignment is to develop a detailed concept for the financing of rural water infrastructure in Rwanda.
The Specific services / tasks of hydrophil are
- to review the existing financing mechanisms and institutional provisions used in the rural water and sanitation sector in Rwanda (task 1);
- to evaluate different financing options (based on the outputs of task 1) with particular consideration of procurement, regulatory and institutional issues associated with each option in respect to water supply and sanitation;
- to recommend a preferred financing and institutional option; justify this recommendation; and provide a detailed analysis of follow on analyses or institutional reforms required to operationalize the recommended option.
