Rural water and sanitation project

The assignment involved the preparation of a detailed grant application and financial proposal for submission to the European Commission's ACP-EU Water Facility 9th European Development Fund. The proposal was a successful bid resulting in a grant of ca. 3 million EUR for the Red Cross.
The project supports an integrated action, where water supply, sanitation and health promotion are addressed simultaneously in 120 villages in different parts of the country, with a specific focus on the areas of Anseba and Southern Red Sea. In order to reduce livelihood risks in these drought-prone areas, the development and implementation of strategies to protect and conserve water and soil resources is an important part of this project. The action is based upon the Red Cross Society of Eritrea as the implementing agency.
