PROJECT # 0036

Madagascar, Water Supply in Antanambao Manampotsy (Atsinanana Region)

The project aims at developing access to potable water to the population located in the District of Antanambao Manampotsy, Eastern Region of Madagascar, and covering 6 municipalities (71,000 inhabitants should benefit from the project). The access to potable water in this district is below the already low country average, in spite of available water resources and high rainfalls. As a result, high incidence of water related diseases are observed, particularly among the children.

The project aims at protecting and managing water resources in a sustainable manner, at implementing climate change mitigation measures and at improving the quality of life of the local population, with high impact on the most vulnerable groups. The project will consist in developing the appropriate operational water infrastructure in a sustainable manner with a view to improve access, quality and quantity of potable water, reduce water-related diseases affecting the population and improve the general health situation. A pre-feasibility study was undertaken in June 2023.
