The CVCD-2 investments include nine village road rehabilitations and five village water supply schemes which have been completed with some of the projects in a process of handing over to communities. The construction of the sanitary landfill is progressing with 65% of the works being completed. The investments of Saranda Water Supply and Sewerage system are completed 85% which include: i) replacement of the Navarica transmission main and extension of distribution network in the tourist area; and ii) construction of an outfall pressure line from the Saranda Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) to the Cuka Channel, and rehabilitation of sewer lines. The works on Chuka Channel and the rehabilitation of sewer lines are completed.

The extension was provided based on the present positive outlook of project investments to be completed by the new closing date.
