The proposed project, Climate Resilience of the Water Sector in The Bahamas, aims to enhance the resilience of the water sector by (i) strengthening the foundations for more evidence-based policy- and decision-making on climate change and the water sector; (ii) supporting relevant stakeholders (including different groups of women and men of all ages) to apply this knowledge to the development and implementation of a more coordinated and coherent policy and governance framework; and (iii) conducting upgrades to water infrastructure across seven islands: New Providence, Andros, Abaco, Acklins, Eleuthera, Exuma, and San Salvador. Infrastructure upgrades include wellfield expansion, pipeline replacement, increased water storage, and risk reduction measures at wellfields and pumping stations. The project is coordinated by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and executed by the Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC), with funding sought from the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
