The Ivorian government adopted on May 27 a decree ratifying a loan agreement of CFA10 billion (about $17 million) from the West African Development Bank (BOAD) for a water project in Abidjan. The agreement was signed since July 2, 2018.
This funding will make it possible to build two water towers with a capacity of 5,000 m3 each in the communes of Marcory and Port-Bouët, to deploy 210 km of drinking water networks, renew 20 km of old pipes and make 5,000 social connections.
According to the Ivorian authorities, a total of CFA1,320 billion (about $2.2 billion) is needed to ensure access to drinking water for 100% of the population by 2030.
