Guide to Honduran OBA Facility for Water and Sanitation Projects
Print
EmailThe Honduran Social Investment Fund (FHIS) has published a guide to the Honduran Output-Based Aid (OBA) facility, a fund for improving water and sanitation services that is expected to benefit about 40,000 low-income households in rural and peri-urban areas of Honduras.
The fund was set up in 2007 with the help of a US$4.5 million grant from GPOBA.
The first sub-project to be funded through the OBA facility - a clean water project for 16 poor neighborhoods in the suburbs of Tegucigalpa - was launched in August 2008 (read the press release). The new guide from FHIS is intended as a practical reference for public and private entities working in the water and sanitation sector in Honduras. It will also be of interest to other development practitioners who wish to learn about designing and implementing an OBA facility.
