EBRD and EU to fund water services project in Tajikistan
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has agreed a sovereign loan of up to €7.5 million to the state enterprise for Kulob water and wastewater services (KMK), which will rehabilitate the key water supply and wastewater infrastructure in the southern Tajikistan city.
The funds will be used to upgrade the network including water mains, intakes and pumping stations. They will also help modernise KMK’s wastewater treatment plant, the wastewater network and facilitate the procurement and installation of water meters.
The project is expected to receive grant support from EU’s Investment Facility for Central Asia in the amount of €7.5 million to co-finance capital expenditures.
