Abstract

Since 1975, USAID has supported the development of Egypt's water and wastewater sector by providing more than $4 billion for infrastructure and associated institutional strengthening programs. The impact of this sizable investment is recognized not only for the direct benefit of improved water and wastewater services but for the related benefits of improved public health indicators and positive economic impacts. Over the past three years USAID/Egypt has funded two contracts providing technical assistance to the institutions responsible for overseeing and managing water and wastewater service provision in Egypt and sector investment planning and implementation. This report summarizes the findings of an evaluation of the performance of these two contracts.
