Background: The proposed project builds on the experience of the delegation of the public drinking water service, capitalized since 2009 by the National Office of Water and Sanitation (ONEA) of Burkina Faso, the executing agency, to extend drinking water supply to peripheral or undeveloped neighborhoods of the city of Ouagadougou, which are in deficit.

Background: The Support Project to Build Resilience to Climate Change and COVID-19 aims to create a favourable environment for the population of Bamako City to have access to efficient water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services to build resilience to climate change and combat the spread of COVID-19. The project was developed within the framework of the implementation of the Regional Programme to Combat COVID-19 and Build Resilience to Climate Change Through Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Services.

Background: This project is an important contribution to the implementation of Togo's National Development Plan, which is the benchmark for all Government actions aimed at promoting the country's economic and social development. This is a grant from the African Water Facility (AWF) Special Fund in an amount not exceeding EUR 1,250,000 for the Togolese Republic.

Project General Description: The proposed project is the outcome of a proposal submitted by the Volta Basin Authority (VBA) to the African Development Bank in 2020, together with a funding request for institutional enhancement of the Authority. This project seeks to address the critical lack of knowledge on the Basin, in order to drive master planning for water development and management in the basin, and to support an agreement on the advancement of the Noumbiel Dam project; both of which are important to address fragility and build resilience in the Volta River basin. The project is based on requirements from VBA and its member countries.
