Pan-African city-wide inclusive sanitation and non-revenue water reduction programs have been launched on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 in Chad by the African Water Association (AfWA).

Four cities have been chosen for the implementation of these programs in Chad. They are N'Djamena, Kelo, Moundou and Koumra.

The kick-off meeting took place in the presence of the Mayor of N'Djamena, the General Director of the Ministry of Water, the Deputy Managing Director of the Chadian Water Company (STE), the Director of programs of AfWA and the Mayors of the other three beneficiary towns.

The Deputy General Manager of STE, Oumar Ousmane Brahim, said that this project is a major capacity building tool in sub-Saharan Africa. It involves 21 companies from 19 African countries for three years.

The project will support the individual Non Revenue Water reduction program of at least four companies, including STE, enabling it to save money and provide access to clean water to at least three million people.

"Our goal is to achieve universal sanitation for the entire population of the targeted cities, taking into account the safe management of human waste and the efficient recovery of the resources generated," he said.

The Director of Programs of AfWA, Dr. Simeon Kenfack, for his part, praised the benefits of the project and assured the support of the association for a better world.

Computers and Internet access modems were given to the mayors of the cities targeted by the project.
