| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Dushanbe, the capital city, has an official population of 800,000 but unofficially has almost a million due to increased migration from rural areas and the significant numbers of overseas workers returning to Dushanbe. Urban migration added stress to the aging urban infrastructure and led to unplanned expansion of the city with low density patterns and limited access to urban services. This has led to environmental degradation resulting in high coping costs and poor city livability for citizens and migrants, as well as limiting the economic growth prospects for the city. The city initiated development of a masterplan to comprehensively plan investments to meet the demands of the expanding population, identifying water supply and sanitation investments as a priority. | ||||||||
