Stakeholders
The IWSP 1 focuses on ACs in the four Governorates of Sharkia, Gharbia, Damietta, and Beheira. The responsibility for capital investment planning and implementation rests largely with the ACs, supervised by the PMU on behalf of HCWW and EDPs.
Each AC has established a fully-integrated PIU for the planning and implementation of the IWSP 1. The PIUs are headed by Programme Managers, who report directly to the Chairman of the respective AC. Accordingly, the function of the PIUs is to act as the responsible body to undertake project identification, project preparation, procurement, and implementation including disbursements to the engineering consultants, contractors, and suppliers.
HCWW and PMU
The HCWW is responsible for the overall management of the investment portfolio of the EDPs in the water sector, especially for the setting of planning priorities, mobilization of funds, and taking corrective actions on the basis of a sound monitoring and evaluation system.
The HCWW has established a fully-integrated PMU, representing the HCWW. The HCWW and the PMU are responsible for the planning of all IWSP 1 investment activities as well as for the management of the same by setting policies and guidelines. Furthermore, the PMU provides guidance to the ACs on how to organize and operate the PIUs.
KfW / EDPs
The leading partner for the group of the four EDPs is the KfW. Thus KfW is responsible for coordinating the interests of the EDPs concerning IWSP 1.
As Lead Donor, KfW is tasked by the EDPs to ensure the economic viability, efficiency, and sustainability of the investments financed by the EDPs under the IWSP 1. To fulfill this role, KfW will undertake various intermediate steps in the programme procedures.
Implementation Consultant
The PMU is supported in its functions by an Implementation Consultant (IC) which strengthens the organizational and human capacities of the HCWW in order to better manage complex capital investment projects such as the IWSP 1 and to provide better services to the ACs.
