Project Summary

Project General Description

The Multi-Use Water Supply Reinforcement Project along the Keur Momar Sarr base station has been designed to provide water management for multi-use in the Louga, Thiès and Dakar regions. It is part of the Bank’s intervention to the overall project “Construction of a third treatment plant in Keur Momar Sarr”. This project is one of the Senegalese Government's priorities as part of its new strategy to facilitate access to drinking water for rural and urban populations. In addition to providing populations with a better access to drinking water and strengthening the area's industrial activities, the project will also strengthen the development of support activities for the production and marketing of agricultural products.
