The Improved Water and Wastewater Services Programme II (“IWSP IIâ€) succeeds the ongoing IWSP I. It covers four Governorates Qena, Sohag, Assiut, and Minya in Upper Egypt. The program objective is to ensure appropriate, thoroughly hygienic, efficient and financially sustainable water supply and wastewater disposal in the program areas.

o Rehabilitation of existing wastewater treatment plants;
o Construction of new wastewater treatment plants and associated regional wastewater collection systems (“regional Sanitation Service Clustersâ€);
o Expansion of existing wastewater collection systems if this enables the capacity utilisation ratio of existing wastewater treatment plants to be improved, if necessary including house connections;
o Rehabilitation and expansion of existing drinking water treatment plants;
o Rehabilitation and restructuring of existing pipes and drinking water supply systems, if necessary including house connections.
• A Technical Assistance (TA) Component to strengthen the technical and financial capacities of the HCWW and the Affiliate Companies (ACs). The TA component shall create an enabling environment for the execution of the investment component and improve the ACs operational and financial performance.
The technical assistance will be provided by:

• Two Technical Assistance and Design Consultants (TADECs), who will support the HCWW’s Affiliated Companies (AC) of Qena, Sohag, Assiut, and Minya, in planning, tendering the investment projects and ensuring the quality of their IWSP II investment projects. This consultant will also support the ACs Programme Implementation Units (PIUs) in executing all programme management activities for which they are responsible such as technical and financial programme management and supervision, technical and financial reporting. The TADECs will also support capacity building in the ACs in order to improve their operational and financial efficiency.
