This key initiative, led by the Ministry of Hydraulics, Sanitation, and Public Health (MINHAS), aims to improve water infrastructure across 95 villages in Côte d’Ivoire. The project will deliver 95 fully functional water supply systems, each designed to include geophysical and geotechnical studies, preliminary and detailed engineering design, and comprehensive environmental and social impact assessments. These systems will feature underground water catchments through boreholes, interconnected mains and distribution networks, elevated water towers with capacities ranging from 50 to 500 cubic meters, and advanced water treatment facilities to ensure safe and reliable drinking water for rural communities.

Challenges du
projet
Rural communities in Côte d’Ivoire face severe water insecurity, with millions lacking access to safe drinking water. Existing infrastructure is either absent or damaged, forcing families—especially women and children—to walk long distances to collect water, which impacts health, education, and economic productivity. Climate change exacerbates these challenges through erratic rainfall, groundwater depletion, and contamination risks. Limited institutional capacity and complex logistics across remote areas further hinder the delivery of sustainable water services.
Notre solution
The project will implement a comprehensive water infrastructure program across 95 villages, including geophysical and geotechnical studies, borehole drilling, mains and distribution networks, elevated water towers, and water treatment systems. It integrates climate-resilient design and environmental safeguards, supported by advanced technologies and local capacity building. By ensuring reliable access to clean water, the initiative will improve health, reduce poverty, empower women, and strengthen resilience against climate risks—contributing directly to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6, SDG 3, SDG 1, SDG 5, and SDG 13).
