The project has four specific objectives: (i) to increase installed production capacity to ensure constant supply to the 730 000 people presently connected to the existing water supply system (currently the system does not provide a 24-hour supply) and increase the population served by the international operator by 467 000 people in 2010 and by an additional 145 000 by 2014; (ii) to improve the system's performance by reducing unaccounted for water (so-called unmetered water or UFW) from 60% to 40%; (iii) to expand the water supply in the poorer areas on the outskirts of town (so-called peri-urban areas) with the support of small local private operators, in order to extend services to an additional 110 000 people; and (iv) to improve the promoter's capacity and financial sustainability, which will contribute to the improvement of water services in all cities under the promoter's responsibility.
