16 June 2010

Funding has been approved for the Regional Potable Water Supply Systems project and the Oum Er Rbia Sanitation project.

The project will also contribute to an increased participation in educational and economic activities, reduce prevalence of water-borne diseases (especially in children under five years of age) and create opportunities for job creation

The Oum Er Rbia Sanitation project, which received US$43 million, plans to increase the overall rate of sanitation access and wastewater treatment in eleven towns in the Oum Er Rbia basin. It aims also at narrowing the service gap between large and small towns.
