The objective of the National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project for Peru is to increase the sustainable use of water supply and sanitation facilities in rural areas and small towns while emphasizing improvement in hygiene practices and training in operation and maintenance. The project triggered OP 4.01, but the impacts were not deemed significant, irreversible or unprecedented. Negative environmental impacts have been mitigated by proper screening, designs and close supervision of construction and operating practices. In practice, environmental clearance for each subproject is obtained at the prefeasibility stage from the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, according to national public investment legislation, and local environmental sector regulations and environmental guidelines adopted in the operational manual. No major environmental issues have arisen in the implementation of the parent project, given the small scale of the water supply and sanitation investments financed in rural areas and small towns.
