PROJECT # 0037

Madagascar, Antananarivo Urban Water Supply and Sanitation - Andriantany Canal

The project aims at protecting the population of the capital city Antananarivo (2.6 million inhabitants) from the risks of flood generated by heavy rainfalls and inadequate rain waters disposal.

Important works need to be undertaken for dredging the Andriantany Canal up north, as well as for consolidating and arranging the riverbanks over 13 km. The project is part of the Antananarivo Sanitation Integrated Programme undertaken with the support of the World Bank, the French Development Agency and the European Union (Phase II started in 2021). A feasibility study and SEIA were undertaken. Consultations with the local population are ongoing before the relocation process of inhabitants along the canal can be initiated.
