The project aims to improve the quality and quantity of bulk water supplied to the municipalities served in the project area and to strengthen the capacity of the Palestinian Water Authority.

AWP-1 is part of a larger international effort to build a desalination plant and distribute its water across Gaza. AWP-1 aims to:

• Build infrastructure to blend the water from the desalination plant with other water sources, and distribute it to consumers
• Procure water from Israel
• Build the capacity of water institutions

AWP-1 has already supplied drinking water to 280,000 people; the end target is 870,000 people.

The project seeks to support the continuation of wastewater treatment services in North Gaza and strengthen the capacity of the water institutions to manage wastewater services efficiently.

The WMS project provides wastewater services for 368,000 people in North Gaza by:

• Funding the continued operation of the North Gaza Wastewater Management Facilities (NGWMF) for four years
• Helping the NGWMF become sustainable in the long term.

The project¡¯s goal is to improve the reliability and quality of water supply services in selected areas and to strengthen the operational performance of sector institutions in the Palestinian territories

WSRP-1 is the first phase of a series of projects which will transform the water sector in the West Bank and Gaza.

WRSP-1 focuses on:

• Improving the quality and reliability of water services
• Building institutional capacity.

The project seeks to enhance tenure security and improve real estate registration services.

• RERP is supporting the PA to carry out systematic land registration in the West Bank.
• 127,951 properties have been registered; the end target is 161,807 properties
• Land registration will benefit the business environment and the housing and construction sectors, improve access to finance, and increase land tax revenues.

The project aims to strengthen municipal capacity to deliver accountable, sustainable, inclusive and resilient services to the municipal population in the West Bank and Gaza.

RMSP builds on the achievements of MDP-3, by:

• Reforming the local government sector to enable municipalities to sustain themselves independently.

Projects in the Energy Sector aim to reform the electricity sector to improve its performance. In Energy sector, there are two active projects: ESPIP and ASPIRE

The project aims to improve the operational performance of electricity sector institutions and pilot a new business model for solar energy in Gaza.

• ESPIP supports the energy sector reforms led by the Palestinian Energy and National Resources Authority (PENRA)
• These reforms cover generation, transmission, distribution, and regulation, and also promote the availability of rooftop solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems in Gaza

ASPIRE MPA seeks to improve the operational and financial performance of electricity sector institutions and the diversification of energy sources in the West Bank and Gaza.

• ASPIRE MPA builds on ESPIP by further supporting the energy sector reforms led by PENRA
• Phase I focuses on improving regional electricity interconnections, supporting distribution companies, and promoting private sector engagement in renewable energy
• Phase II builds on Phase I activities and will also focus on a) supplying smart meters and b) building back better for the conflict-affected medium voltage network in Gaza
• Further reforms will be supported by phases III and IV
