The Water, Sanitation, and Drainage (WSD) Project will reduce disease-causing pathogens in groundwater and piped and stored drinking water through a catalytic infrastructure investment, which will introduce the country’s first centralized wastewater treatment system, improve related drainage, and build a plant to produce disinfectant chemical for the supply of clean drinking water across the capital city of Dili and four nearby municipalities. The Project will also support key policy and institutional reforms for long-term sustainability and introduce social and behavior change interventions to improve household water management and hygiene practices.
