• Provides indicative costs and a technical analysis of a long-term approach to development of water, wastewater and access and circulation networks in the areas of the municipalities of Himara and Saranda and the communes of Ksamil and Lukova.
• Considers how to balance demands for infrastructure with funding availability, including the possible role for private financing as well as possible short-term stand-alone infrastructure solutions.
