    Environmental aspects

    The project is driven by the commitment of the Nicaraguan government to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals i.e. halve by 2015 the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water. The project will have a positive environmental impact through the reduction of pollution and the improvement of the quality of water supplied to the population. Health risks associated to the quality of water will be therefore substantially reduced. During appraisal, environmental procedures under EIB guidelines and promoter capacity will be assessed.
