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.CC BY 3.0 IGOBACTERIOLOGICAL QUALITYBILL COLLECTIONCERTIFICATIONCONSTRUCTIONCOST RECOVERYCUBIC METERCUBIC METER OF WATERDEBTDRINKING WATEREQUILIBRIUMFINANCIAL VIABILITYHOUSEHOLDSINCOMEINCOME LEVELSINVESTMENT PROGRAMIRRIGATION WATEROPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTSPERFORMANCE INCENTIVESPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRIVATE FINANCINGPRIVATE OPERATORPRIVATE SECTORREGULATORY AGENCIESSAFE POTABLE WATERSANITATION SECTORSEWERAGE NETWORKSEWERAGE SYSTEMSUB-SAHARAN AFRICATARIFF STRUCTURETHE GAMBIAURBAN AREASURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER INVESTMENTSWATER PRODUCTIONWATER SECTORWATER SECTOR REFORMWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMSWATER UTILITYWorld Bank10.1596/9660
