Face Sheet Section B. Recommendations The following action is hereby submitted for AID approval: - Loan $4,000,000 (Loan Terms: 40 years, 10 year grace 2% interest during grace period 3% thereafter) - Grant 200000 Total New AID Obligation $4,200,000 Section C. Description of the Project 1. Borrower The Borrower will be the Government of Bolivia (GOB); the Ministry of Health's (MOH) Division or Environmental Sanitation (DSA) will serve as the Project's principal executing agency. The MOH Divisions of Epidemiology and Human Resources will provide sup­ port to the DSA in the execution of the Project. 2. Summary Project Description The proposed Project is designed to create an institu­ tional capacity in the DSA that will enable it to carry out rural sanitation future programs on a scale that will make a significant impact on the need for potable water in rural Bolivia. The Mission anticipates that by developing a functioning institutional base in DSA it will become art attractive, effective vehicle through which future resources of other international donors can be channelled. To achieve this objective, USAID/Bolivia is proposing to with the resources assist DSA (equipment, materials and technical assistance) necessary to strengthen their institutional base and demonstrate, through the construction of approximately 200 sanitation systems, the ability to use significant amounts of resources effectively. During the proposed four and one-half year loan disbursement period, the Project will help to finance a DSA program to construct approximately 200 potable water supply systems and 7,600 'Latrines, as well as provide health and hygiene education and instruction in systems maintenance to the estimated 11,000 families who will be the direct beneficiaries of the Project. The target communities will be located in the Departments of Cochabamba and northern Chuquisaca. ( i 1.i) It is anticipated that the activities contemplated under the project will strengthen the institutional capacity of PSA and the Division of Human Resources and Epidemio­ logy in the Ministry of Health to construct water and sanitary systems, to pr-vide basic community education in hygiene and water use to measure the health impact of rural water, and to evaluate internally DSA's capacity to carry out the aforementioned activities through the establishment of a Management Information System.
