Fiche récapitulative
The project consists of the construction of production infrastructure (groundwater abstraction) aimed at increasing the available quantity of water to guarantee supplies to the greater Antananarivo area until 2015. It includes the upgrading and expansion of the network with mains and supply pipelines and its extension into outlying areas not currently served.
To diversify supply sources and improve water provision infrastructure in order to curb the deterioration in the service provided to households already covered and create the extra capacity needed to serve a further 500 000 people, 75% of whom are located in the poorest outlying areas of the city.
The July 2003 Master Plan contained a favourable opinion on the project's feasibility. A more detailed study on the environmental impact and the protection of new water resources will be undertaken during the project's preparatory phase in parallel with the geophysical prospecting.
Most of the calls for tender will follow international tendering procedures.
