LWUA-JICA Technical Cooperation
Small Water Districts Improvement Project (SWDIP)
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has been cooperating with the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) for over ten years now in the water supply sector in the Philippines, providing assistance through a variety of technical and capacity-building activities to water districts nationwide. The joint effort has already produced encouraging results, thus, the consensus of the two sides to take further steps to improve the performance of small and less financially-viable water districts through the LWUA - JICA Technical Cooperation Project entitled "Small Water Districts Improvement Project (SWDIP)" from August 2005 to July 2010.

The objective of the SWDIP is to assist the small and less financially-viable water districts in achieving their sustainable growth and self-reliance to be able to provide better access to safe and sufficient drinking water to the people of the Philippines. The specific objectives are; (1) to cultivate ownership and responsibility of target water districts on water supply management and service; (2) to improve quality of water supply service and coverage of the selected water districts; (3) to improve financial viability of the selected water districts; (4) to enhance water supply management capability of the target water districts.

The SWDIP targets those small and less financially-viable water districts that can possibly improve their services and achieve financial viability through it. The SWDIP has two pillars; (1) improvement of water supply service and financial viability of twenty (20) selected water districts which are given grant assistance for their physical improvement and; (2) enhancement of water supply management capability of sixty (60) target water districts which include 20 selected water districts.
