Mali Water Security Project

About this project

Given the climate change vulnerability and other water security challenges faced in Mali, a more integrated approach is crucial to sustain economic development and reduce fragility and conflict. The proposed project will enhance drought and flood resilience by supporting sector development through a comprehensive water management approach, focused on improving access to drinking water supply service as a continuation of Kabala investment program in Bamako and in priority areas while protecting associated water resources at the sub-basin level. To this end, the project will support keystone climate resilient water investments for water supply and water source conservation, as well as operational and institutional measures to enhance sector performance, such as non-revenue water reduction and support to define priority reforms. The project will not only tackle immediate water access and quality concerns but also lay the groundwork for long-term resilience and contribute to water-related job growth and economic activity. In supporting these activities, the project contributes to building a more stable, sustainable future for the country, reducing the risks of water-related conflicts, and supporting economic growth in vulnerable regions.
