Peru Secures Spain Grant

The Spanish Cooperation Fund for Water and Sanitation in LatAm and the Caribbean is providing a $72m grant for an IDB-backed water and sanitation project in Peru. The grant will finance mostly infrastructure and other works needed to expand and improve drinking water and sanitation networks in towns of 2,000-15,000 people, and rural localities of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants. The government of Peru will provide $18m to complete the total investment of $90m required to fund the project.
