Abstract
The water sector project's overall
development objectives were to address: (a) sustainability,
by improving the management, pricing and cost recovery and
reducing government subsidies for industrial, domestic and
irrigation water; (b) poverty alleviation and health, by
increasing access to safe potable water and adequate and
more affordable sanitation for the urban poor; and (c)
private sector participation, by engaging a private company
to manage urban water supply. Implemented over the period
1996-2004, with a credit of US$100 million, the project
design and implementation were regarded as highly
satisfactory. Donors such as Agence Francaise de
Developpement, the European Union and the Banque Ouest
Africaine de Developpement (the West African Development
Bank) actively participated in the design of the project.
