Chile's Water Transition

The development objective of the Water Transition Program for Chile is to strengthen the Borrower’s capacity for water resource management and water-related services. The Bank operation (PforR or Program) will support key activities of the Government of Chile (GoC’s) program. While addressing climate change-exacerbated droughts, floods, and water scarcity, the PforR will focus on: (i) strengthening institutional capacities for the integrated management of water resources, including the implementation of a participatory water governance approach at basin level; (ii) improving safely managed drinking water and sanitation services in rural areas; and (iii) improving climate resilience through the development of integrated green and gray solutions for irrigation and flooding at basin level.
