Fiscal Sustainability Road Map for Desalination in Egypt

The project aims to prepare a roadmap for fiscally sustainable development of desalination in Egypt with a focus on private investments. The roadmap will address how private investments could be leveraged in the most effective manner in the short, and medium to long term to develop the desalination sector in Egypt in light of the GoE strategic plans for the sector. Various scenarios to ensure the investments are deployed efficiently and effectively from contractual, fiscal, technical, environmental, and social aspects will be developed. In addition, the roadmap needs to address actions to improve financial sustainability and governance of the water sector at large which are inseparable from the sustainable development of the desalination market in Egypt. The integration of renewable energy with desalination will be considered. Institutional and regulatory improvement recommendation will be developed.
