Benin - Support Project for Cotonou Stormwater Drainage Programme (PAPC)

About this project

The Cotonou Stormwater Drainage Programme, initiated by the Government of Benin, complements the road asphalting and household waste management modernization programmes of Grand-Nokoué. The Support Project for the Cotonou Stormwater Drainage Programme (PAPC) is the AfDB’s contribution to the implementation of the Cotonou Stormwater Drainage Programme. The overall programme, which stems from the city’s Stormwater Drainage Master Plan, is expected to be implemented over a period of six years, four of which will be devoted to the implementation of the components financed by the Bank. The total cost of the programme is EUR 397.63 million, including EUR 61.00 million from the Bank. The PAPC will cover the 6th and 10th districts of the Cotonou Municipality. It will mainly involve: (1) the construction of a 220,500 cubic-metre retention basin; (2) the construction of 33,140 linear metres of collectors and gutters; (3) the construction and paving of 12,220 linear metres of road; (4) the reconstruction and equipping of: (i) the Benin School for the Deaf; (ii) Vèdoko 2 Government Primary School; and (iii) a community health centre laboratory; (5) capacity-building for the Cotonou City Council (logistics and training) and for women and youths; and (6) awareness-raising for behaviour change to reduce flood risks and promote adaptation to climate change in Cotonou.
