Rehabilitation and extension of the water system of N’Djamena (Preparatory Studies)

The public drinking water coverage in N’Djaména, the capital of Chad, is less than 30% of its population. Without intervention, this situation would deteriorate due to a lack of investments, the low operational performance of the water system and the rapidly increasing number of inhabitants of the city. The D2B-studies, conducted by Lyon-based engineering consultancy Cabinet Merlin, will provide all information necessary to improve the access to drinking water in the agglomeration of N’Djamena, with the national objective of 80% drinking water coverage in 2030.The project is also aimed at improving the overall performance of the supply system and at capacity building of the Société Tchadienne des Eaux (STE), the national operator of the drinking water system. RVO is working together with partners Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the European Union for the realisation of the implementation phase of the project.Feasibility Study
