Component 3) Will include: (a) technical assistance for capacity building for wastewater utilities management, and financing; (b) training in project management; (c) technical assistance for engineering design and construction supervision; and (d) locally-financed preparation and updating of wastewater masterplans for Wuxi and Suzhou Municipalities.
