📋 Tender Overview
Project General Description
This project concerns the additional financing of the Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Program in Rwanda. The initial financing of the program targets the City of Kigali and the satellite cities of Rubavu, Rusizi, Nyagatare, Muhanga, Huye, Musanze and Karongi covering water supply and sanitation sub-projects. It will enable the Government of the Republic of Rwanda (GoR) to provide improved water supply services to an additional 1.5 million people bringing the total number of beneficiaries to 5.4 million. The program also complements Bank’s private sector financed Kigali Bulk Water Supply Project by ensuring connection between the water treatment plant and the city’s water supply network. The expanded reach will target additional areas including peri-urban and rural areas with low service coverage to help the country accelerate progress towards universal access to improved water and sanitation services by 2024 in line with the First National Strategy for Transformation (NST-1). Therefore, the additional financing will mainly support scaling up of component 1 in additional areas in Nyagatare, Gatsibo, Kayonza, Ngoma, Bugesera, Ruhango, Nyanza, Muhanga, Ngororero, Kamonyi, Musanze, Nyabihu, Rubavu, Karongi and Rutsiro districts. The program is being implemented over 6 years (including the implementation time of the ongoing initial financing). The total cost including additional activities, is estimated at EUR 379.689 million, net of taxes and duties.
Project Objectives
