Contribution to the Second Urban Water Supply And Sanitation Project in Ethiopia (UWSSP II)

ongoing

The UWSSP II Project aims to provide a city wide inclusive sanitation approach through provision of sanitation for all urban dwellers with appropriate sanitation facilities. The project is designed to contribute to the GoE effort to eliminate open defecation, increase percentage of population using a ‘safely managed’ sanitation service, and enhance existing water supply services through improved operational efficiency and expansion of water supply service to unserved areas. The project aims to ensure access to sanitation infrastructure and improve the living conditions of the Ethiopians in 22 secondary cities and Addis. The project is co-financed with the World Bank. AFD support aims at increasing gender impact of the programme in 22 secondary cities targeting specific gender activities under the sanitation component.
