‘Even if, after local elections, the composition of local public administration could change, now it is important to have a quality feasibility study, because, in turn, this document will be the basis for the development of the technical design. Be very cautious to data and indicators that will be included by the working group in the feasibility study’, said the head of project management within MRDC, Victor Caun.
‘Due to the feasibility study that is under development, the water supply and sanitation project from Sangerei may have better chances to get funding. At this stage, it is important to consider all aspects that would hold back the project’, said North RDA Director, Ion Bodrug.
In the next period, GIZ expert team will conduct field visits in order to gather necessary data for the development of the feasibility study.
