Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid New Water Projects

During October 2006-February 2007, GPOBA (Global Partnership for Output-Based Aid Trust Fund) has signed three grant agreements related to the water and sanitation sector, in Kenya, Morocco and Uganda. GPOBA also approved five projects for commitment, 3 of which are related to the water and sanitation sector, and approved eleven projects for eligibility, five of which in the water and sanitation sector. The objective of the project in Morocco (see EMWIS website) is to demonstrate an output-based subsidy mechanism to facilitate access to water and sanitation services for approximately 11,300 low income households in selected peri-urban neighborhoods of Casablanca, Tangiers and Meknès, also targeted by the National Initiative for Human Development (“INDH”).
