New ACP-EU Water Facility
A new allocation of €200 Million from the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) has been allocated to the new Water Facility and two calls for proposals will be published at the beginning of 2010. The ACP-EU Water Facility was set up in 2004, with the principal objective of providing water and basic sanitation to the poor, and to improve water management governance in African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
The offical launch of the first call has been done at the ACP-EU WF conference held in Brussels on the 9 th feb 2010. It is dedicated to the funding of "Water & sanitation basic infrastructure and hygiene promotion projects, focussing on the most vulnerable and needy in rural and peri-urban areas, promoting the use of small-scale appropriate technologies, and leading to improvements in health, education & socio-economic development." Applicants must submit their proposal before 2nd June 2010.
