Hintergrund

Over the past 20 years the Peruvian government successfully supported the municipalities and their urban water utilities in the development of new infrastructure. Nevertheless, quality of service provision remains low and a long way from achieving the SDGs. In the light of the situation, Peru has launched modernization reforms. This programme supports the implementation of the reforms in two utilities. It is fully alligned with SECO's country strategy as well as Peru's priorities and a consistent continuation of SECO's strong engagement in the Peruvian urban water sector.
