Extending Finance Strategy to rural WSS
EAP Task ForceState Committee of Water System of ArmeniaState Committee of Water System of Armenia
Targets set in PRSP and MDGs and government policy regarding rural WSS (in Armenia some 60% of population is rural) Complex issue, because till recently the Government:
- lacked data on status of WSS infrastructure and services in some 850 villages outside the service area of water utilities;
- institutional gaps.
Financial dimension: under the Baseline scenario expenditures for rural WS in Armenia estimated at about AMD 2 billion per year (compared to some AMD 30 billion for urban WSS , in that: (1 € = 480 DRAM)),
About 40% - O&M, 60% - re-investments, About 50% - by water utilities, the rest by rural communes
Implementation of a Finance strategy for rural WSS will be more an institutional and managerial than financial challenge
Role of the NPD on Financing WSS
Facilitate implementing the government policy by assisting in:
Setting realistic sector development targets Developing and implementing a sound finance
strategies Identifying priority policy measures and priority
investments Formulating minimal water supply concept Building awareness, ownership and capacity
