This PPP project is developed with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). For the 2023-2024 period, ProInversión’s goal is to promote and award 38 PPP projects and Projects in Assets for approximately US$9,000 million
Under the figure of Public-Private Association (APP), ProInvestment promotes the construction of the Cajamarca Wastewater Treatment Plant (PTAR), a work that will treat the water resources generated by the city and improve the health, environment and quality of life of more than 300,000 people in this region.
The executive director of ProInversión, José Salardi, made a technical visit to various public-private investment projects in Cajamarca and specified that the entity has been promoting the development of this project with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
“This great sanitation project, which requires an investment of US$58 million, will have a positive impact on the health and quality of life of the population, as well as on education, the economy, and the environment,” highlighted José Salardi.
The project will be executed through the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) mechanism and includes the design, financing, construction, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the main collectors, pumping stations, drive lines, emitters, treatment, and final disposal of the sewage water. This will reduce the contamination of the Mashcón River, and the incidence of acute diarrheal diseases and parasitism.
A second project promoted by the entity -in this case by Works for Taxes- is the COAR Cajamarca, of more than S/ 79 million, which will benefit basic education students with outstanding abilities.
“The PPP modality will allow the sustainability of the initiative with high quality standards, during the 25 years of the concession (three years of design and construction, and 22 of operation and maintenance),” added the executive director.
Finally, he highlighted that, for the 2023-2024 period, ProInversión’s goal is to promote and award 38 PPP projects and Projects in Assets for approximately US$9,000 million, of which for this year it expects to award up to 16 projects for US$3,000 million.
“Only by promoting private and public-private investment will we contribute to closing gaps in infrastructure and public services, for the benefit of all Peruvians,” Salardi said.
