Review of the Access to, Availability of, and Organizational Readiness for Uptake of Funding for the Wastewater Sector in Selected Participating Countries

The Caribbean Regional Fund for Wastewater Management (CReW) Project aims to address some of the critical issues that Caribbean countries face in managing wastewater treatment systems. CReW has funded pilot projects in four of the nine participating Caribbean countries. An objective of these pilot projects is to determine an appropriate strategy for helping participating countries improve the management of wastewater treatment systems. The resulting strategy could be applied to the remaining participating countries, as part of a possible second phase of the CReW Project.
