EU Assistance to Strengthen Mountain Communities in Limassol through Sustainable Water Management

The Limassol Development Agency (LDA) has secured technical assistance from the European Commission (DG REGIO) through the Cohesion for Transitions (C4T) initiative to strengthen the mountain communities of the Limassol Province and promote sustainable investments in water resource management. The C4T GROUNDWORK program will provide targeted and customized support, tailored to the needs of the communities. The main objective is to mature sustainable water management projects and enhance the capacity of mountain communities to absorb European funding instruments in the fields of water supply and sewerage. The technical assistance will accelerate the preparation and implementation of necessary investments in infrastructure, especially in communities with deficiencies and outdated networks. Particular emphasis will be placed on data collection and analysis in areas with limited storage capacity and increased water losses, as well as the development of solutions resilient to climate change and drought. Coordination and data exchange will also be improved for the smooth integration of mountain communities into the LDA Limassol. The creation of a prioritized project list will allow for the systematic pursuit of European funds, contributing to more effective project implementation and reducing water losses. The LDA Limassol emphasizes that participation in C4T GROUNDWORK marks a new phase of institutional and operational strengthening, consolidating its role as a key player in water supply and sewerage infrastructure projects.
