DHInfrastructure designed the institutional arrangements, including the legislative reforms necessary to establish a Centralized Water Authority (CWA). We reviewed relevant laws, regulations, statutes, and licenses pertaining to regulation, policy making, operations of water, sewerage, and sanitation in Tuvalu, as well as the institutional capacity and framework for appropriate governance and accountability. Then, we recommended strategies for improvement in operations and management frameworks and financing strategies presented in a final report.
