The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) is providing US$700,000 to support the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) with the reduction of non-revenue water wastage.
A government statement said that the grant will also assist in strengthening the BWA’s infrastructure for increased water security across Barbados.
“We have a previous loan with the BWA for US$10 million, and we have been doing a lot of work in this area. We also recently hosted a regional water security conference here in Barbados, where we brought together the heads of the agencies for water and sanitation from across all CARICOM countries,” said CAF’s regional manager for the Caribbean, Dr. Stacy Richards-Kennedy, at the signing ceremony over the last weekend.
