Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
To be decided
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 212 million.
Environmental aspects
The region around Lake Victoria has been suffering from reduced rainfall and increasing pressures on limited ground- and surface water resources and is therefore vulnerable to climate change. The Project supports Integrated Water Resources Management and will promote greater efficiency in the use of water resources. Close collaboration will be sought between EIB and other financiers to agree on environmental and social covenants, as applicable.
Procurement
The NWSC will be the contracting authority for all service, supply and works contracts of the project. Procedures for EIB-funded components will be based on open international tendering with publication in the EC Official Journal, as applicable.
