The European Union announced that it will implement a number of water sector projects in Egypt that will benefit the Ministry of Housing and the Holding Company for Water and Waste Water, during a workshop Wednesday at the EU Delegation to Egypt offices.
The first project, titled the Improved Water and Waste Water Services Programme, is comprised of two phases that aim to improve and expand existing water and wastewater treatment plants. The EU contributed €57m to the project, which is projected to cost €598m.
The first phase is expected to provide water to 533,000 people and improve water services to three million people living in Gharbeya, Sharqeya, Damietta and Beheira Governorates. The second phase, finalised in December , will cover four more governorates in Upper Egypt to include: Qena, Sohag, Assiut and Minya. It aims to provide water to one million people and improve water services for four million people.
