The two stage APL programthat contributes to this objective and the allocation of works and activities under each APL has been specifically designed toensure that APL-1 can be free-standing, with no stranded assets at the end of the first stage. The project (APL-1) development objectives contribute to the overall program development objective by (i) improving sewerageservices in the M-R River Basin and other parts of the Province and City of Buenos Aires by expanding transport and treatmentcapacity; (ii) supporting a reduction of industrial discharges to the M-R River, through the provision of industrial conversiongrants to small and medium enterprises; (iii) promoting improved decision-making for environmentally-sustainable land use anddrainage planning, and piloting urban drainage and land use investments, in the M-R River Basin; and (iv) strengthening ACUMAR#sinstitutional framework for ongoing and sustainable clean-up of the M-R River Basin.
