Djibouti - Sanitation project for the city of Djibouti

The Djibouti city sanitation project is the African Development Bank’s contribution to Government efforts aimed at providing citizens with sustainable sewage management services. The design of the current project is based on priority needs retained by the National Water and Sanitation Authority of Djibouti (ONEAD) under its short-term (0 to 5 years) priority investment program. It should help to improve the health situation of Djibouti City residents after the construction of the sewage treatment plant and cessation of the practice of raw sewage disposal in nature (sea or soil). The estimated project cost, net of taxes and customs duties, is UA 20.96 million, of which UA 14.67 million is in foreign exchange and 6.29 million in local currency. The main components of the project are: A) institutional support and capacity-building; B) rehabilitation and development of sanitation infrastructure; et C) project management.
