The project has four components. (1) Investing in reliable water supply infrastructure component will finance the construction, expansion and rehabilitation of water facilities to increase the reliability of OSE's water systems and adapt to future climatic challenges. (2) Managing water and energy more efficiently component will finance water and energy conservation programs by optimizing OSE's current and future operational performance. (3) Preparing for the future: management, planning and risk component will finance management, planning and risk assessment activities to improve OSE's social reach, environmental management, and economic efficiency.

For projects requiring the displacement of population, there is a close relationship between technical stages of the work and the formulation and implementation of the Resettlement Plan. This will ensure the availability of land and resolution of the damages that do not involve acquisition of property at the time of starting the construction works and give the time necessary to implement the resettlement plan. The following describes the relationship between construction phases and activities of the Plan: potential impacts will be identified in order to determine the social feasibility of the work and the main problems faced; the Plan shall assess the involvement of land and population to shift the costs of the resettlement plan, including land, houses, infrastructure basic and necessary equipment, if applicable. Mostrar menos -
