MANILA (XINHUA) – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) yesterday approved USD93.6 million in loans and grants to improve and expand climate-resilient and inclusive rural water supply, sanitation, and hygiene facilities in Cambodia.
The programme, covering 88,000 households in nine provinces, will support government efforts to provide universal access to safely managed water supply services and basic hygiene facilities in rural areas and improve access to safely managed sanitation facilities while addressing affordability, the ADB said in its press release.
The programme includes USD3-million grant to help finance the expansion of WASH facilities in the provinces where poor rural residents face the greatest challenges in accessing safe water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities.
A technical assistance worth USD600,000 will strengthen the government’s capacity to enact key sector reforms.
