The objective of the Federal Integrated Water Sector-Interaguas Project is to supports the Government of Brazil to improve the coordination and strengthen the capacity among key federal institutions in the water sector toward an integrated approach. There are five components to the project, the first component being water resources management. This component will reduce the disparities between the Borrowers's federal and states water management systems, and identify actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The second component is the water, irrigation, and disaster risk management. This component will provision support for institutional strengthening to improve water infrastructure, irrigation and Sistema Nacional de Defesa Civil (SINDEC) activities, and to raise the overall assessment capacity of strategic existing water infrastructure and disaster risk management capacity, including floods and droughts and other hazards. The third component is the water supply and sanitation. This component will provide support to the implementation of the Borrower's 2007 national sanitation law no. 11.445, the improvement of the quality of the provision of water supply and basic sanitation services and contribution to promote universal access to these services. The fourth component is the intersectoral coordination and integrated planning. This component will provide support to integrated planning; identify areas of mutual interest, overlap, or conflict in the sectoral plans which impact or depend upon water. Finally, the fifth component is the project management, monitoring, and evaluation.
