Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The money will go toward a blended finance instrument, which combines public and private funds, to address South Africa\u2019s growing water shortage by increasing the reuse of water, the Development Bank of Southern Africa and the GCF said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The cash injection is expected to help kickstart South Africa\u2019s Water Reuse Program.<\/p>\n

“At the core of the WRP is a blended finance solution that brings together private and public sector players,” the institutions said in the statement. “As the WRP matures, project bonds” will be used to raise finance, they said.<\/p>\n

Years of neglect have left the country suffering power outages on a daily basis, while the quality of water provision has slumped. At the same time, South Africa is trying to make itself more resilient to climate change with much of its territory expected to become hotter and drier over coming decades. It\u2019s already the fifth-most water scarce nation in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the World Bank.<\/p>\n

The DBSA requested a mixture of loans and grants from the GCF when it made its application. Some $200 million will be in the form of a loan, while the remaining $35 million is a grant, according to the GCF website.<\/p>\n
