Congo - Improving access to drinking water

The government wants to improve the rate of access to drinking water, which currently falls short of the country's hydrological potential. 741,000 people have access to a clean water source, but this figure drops to 461,000 in rural areas.

In his social project, "Let's continue the march together," President Denis Sassou Nguesso emphasized providing drinking water within reach of all households. Investments made by the State, with the support of development partners, are geared toward developing a number of programs to ensure the sustainability of the resource for the benefit of future generations.

Access to drinking water is a health and social problem within Brazzaville itself.

Thanks to funding of 100 million euros (65.5 billion FCFA) from the French Development Agency (AFD), 30,000 connections were made and delivered in June 2023 in twelve peripheral districts of the capital, 580 km of pipes and 154 km of the Congolaise des eaux (LCDE) network rehabilitated, a network remote management center created as well as the reinforcement of the Djiri and Djoué water stations, allowing the LCDE public service to improve its service and register new subscribers in these remote districts of Brazzaville.

Concerning the Djoué water treatment plant, work was carried out on units A and B and the water catchment area along the river. As for the second plant, the installation of water hammer arresters and the refurbishment of electrical cabinets were also carried out by the Project for the Extension to Peripheral Areas and Strengthening of the Public Drinking Water Service in Brazzaville (PEPS). At the Djiri Abloc Pots, there was equipment renewal work and the installation of new electric pumps. The water production capacity of the plants increased from 900 m3/h to 5000 m3 of reservoir.

In February 2023, an agreement for the financing of the Drinking Water Supply System (SPA) project was reached between 3PRS SA and the IFC (World Bank Group). The capacity of the drinking water pumping and production facilities of 10,950,000 m3/year (30,000 m3/day) will thus strengthen the drinking water supply needs of the population of Pointe-Noire. The project promoter, 3PRS SA, also obtained the concession from the city of Dolisie from the Loubomo River. The APD studies of the project based on the Aquabloc concept (drinking water production capacity of 15,000 m3/day) have been validated.

Congo is among the countries with abundant and plentiful water resources, with approximately 1522 m3 of water per year.
