Chad - Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Eight Secondary Centres and Surrounding Rural Areas

The Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Eight Secondary Centres and Surrounding Rural Areas is a continuation of the on-going Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (PNEAR). It stems from studies on fifteen secondary centres financed by the Bank. It is in keeping with Government strategy to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the 2010-2014 RBCSP and the Government’s 2010-2014 Action Plan, which is an offshoot of the Water and Sanitation Master Plan (2003-2020 WSMP). It covers the four regions of Tandjilé, Mayo-Kebbi East, Mayo-Kebbi West and Mandoul. By 2017, the following access rates would have been achieved in the target areas: 60% for drinking water (compared to 32% in 2011) and 30% for sanitation (compared to 11% in 2011). The average water-borne disease prevalence rate should fall from 23% to 16% over the period. The project should be implemented over five years. Costing UA 22.58 million, it should be financed from the resources of ADF, the RWSSI Trust Fund and contributions from the Government and beneficiaries.
