Short description

As part of the Danunbe Water Programme, the Worldbank conducted a project to update the State of the Sector report 2015. The essential part of this report was a comprehensive review of the water and wastewater services in 16 countries of the Danube region. It presented comparable results across EU members, EU candidates (including potential accession candidates), and Non-EU countries.

The objective of the consultancy by the Umweltbundesamt (Environment Agency Austria) was to update the state of knowledge on water supply and sanitation challenges in the Danube region. Umweltbundesamt experts collected and analyzed the latest available data in the 16 countries and developed guidance for national consultants by providing a manual and a webinar.
