Water supply programme in Ethiopia small and medium towns

ongoing

The project aims to improve the living conditions of the Ethiopians by increasing access to drinking water in 48 secondary cities in Ethiopia. The project is co-financed with EIB, and AICS through establishing a revolving financial mechanism for the urban water and sanitation services. This financial mechanism is mostly a loan and matching fund contribution with the Government of Ethiopia. AFD also provides grant support with value of €1 million to support building the capacity of the Town water utilities. This project is aligned with the Government of Ethiopia’s initiatives to expand water supply access and ensure the quality of water and sustainability of services as well as the capacity of utilities.
