Verbundfinanzierungsvorhaben Kommunaler Umweltschutz I Programa de protección ambiental municipal I Financing of Municipal Environmental Protection Kolumbiens Wasserressourcen sind starken Verschmutzungen ausgesetzt und Trinkwasserquellen stehen Versorgern und der Bevölkerung zusehends weniger verlässlich zur Verfügung. Um Verschmutzungen und daraus resultierende Gesundheitsrisiken zu vermindern und den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels entgegenzuwirken, sind Investitionen in den Siedlungswassersektor (Trink- und Abwasserinfrastruktur, Gewässer- und Überschwemmungsschutz, Abfallsammlung und Entsorgung) nötig. Öffentlichen oder privaten Wasserversorgungsunternehmen (WVU), Ab-fallbetrieben, Städten, regionalen Umweltbehörden oder Regionalverwaltungen, die Infrastruktur finanzieren, bereitstellen und/ oder betreiben (Zielgruppe), mangelt es jedoch oft an verfügbaren Finanzierungsmitteln sowie in Teilen an Planungs- und Betriebskapazität.Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, den Zugang der Zielgruppe zu Darlehensfinanzierung für Investitionen in der Siedlungswasserwirtschaft zu verbessern, um damit von zinsgünstigeren und langfristige-ren Finanzierungen zu profitieren. Indirekt profitieren die Bewohner der Kommunen, in denen Maßnahmen entwickelt werden oder Wirkung entfalten (z.B. Unterlieger an einem Fluss).Angesichts starker Liquiditätsengpässe im Laufe der COVID-19-Pandemie konnten per Integrierter Verbundfinanzierung i.H.v. bis zu 15 Mio. EUR an die Zielgruppe in verschiedenen Landesteilen Kolumbiens schnell über Finanzintermediäre (i.d.R. Geschäftsbanken) günstige Darlehen bereitgestellt werden. Dabei konnten Rohwasserquellen erschlossen und Wasseraufbereitungsstrukturen, Kanalnetze sowie kleine Kläranlagen finanziert werden. Insgesamt profitieren rund 1,2 Mio. Einwohner von den Maßnahmen.FINDETER wird über Consultingleistungen dabei unterstützt, Schwachstellen bei den Investitionsmaßnahmen zu erkennen, Konzepte für deren Behebung zu erarbeiten und die von den Zielgruppen eingeleiteten Lösungswege zu begleiten. Programa de protección ambiental municipal I Colombia's water resources are subject to severe pollution, and drinking water sources are becoming increasingly unreliable for utilities and the population. Investment in the municipal water sector (drinking water and wastewater infrastructure, water and flood protection, waste collection and disposal) is necessary to reduce pollution and the resulting health risks and counteract the effects of climate change. Public or private water utilities (WVUs), waste management companies, cities, regional environmental authorities or regional administrations that finance, provide and/or operate infrastructure (target group) often lack available financing and in some cases lack planning and operational capacity.The aim of the project is to improve the access of the target group to loan financing for investments in the municipal water sector, thus enabling them to benefit from lower-interest and more long-term financing. Indirectly, the residents of the municipalities take benefit from the financing, where measures are developed or have an effect (e.g. semitrailers on a river).In view of the severe liquidity shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, up to EUR 15 million of integrated federated financing was quickly made available to the target group in various parts of Colombia via financial intermediaries (usually commercial banks). It has been possible to tap raw water sources and finance water treatment structures, sewer networks and small wastewater treatment plants. In total, some 1.2 million inhabitants will benefit from the measures.Through consulting services, FINDETER is supported in identifying weaknesses in the investment measures, developing strategies for their elimination and supporting the solutions initiated by the target groups.
