Rwanda gets €115m for water
The African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) has approved an additional
funding support of €115m to Rwanda’s Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation
Program, enabling 1.5 million people to access improved, reliable and
sustainable water supply services.
The funding will cover strategic cities and address water
and sanitation challenges in areas with a low access rate of 45% − a figure
that is way below the national average of 85%.
The new financing is to scale up the country’s largest water
and sanitation sector investment program and is co-financed by the European
Investment Bank and the OPEC Fund for International Development.
