The EU Delegation in Algeria announced on Monday 8 February the closing of the ‘EAU II programme’. “The dynamic is underway … now we have to maintain it”, the Delegation said in a press release, issued today.
This three-year programme in the area of water and sanitation has benefited from EU support in the amount of EUR 30 million.
“For the first time in cooperation between the EU and Algeria, the EAU II programme used Sector Budget Support (ABS), under which the funds allocated by the European Union become available after the completion of a project, when the jointly-agreed indicators have been met”, said Hasina Hammouche, director of the programme.
‘EAU II’ has “contributed to the introduction of mechanisms and concepts to modernise administration of the water sector”, she said.
