Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the Bank’s website, the Power - Water Project is aimed at ensuring extended, more reliable and cost-effective service, primarily to urban but also to rural inhabitants through alleviation of the major managerial and operational constraints of the parastatal water supply and power utility Energie du Mali (EDM). The project will consist of: (i) a water supply component consisting of distribution system works; (ii) construction of facilities, supply of vehicles, and equipment for EDM operations; and (iii) a power component, including construction of a 2MW biomass power plant and distribution system works. To provide support for institutional rehabilitation, the project will also include financing of 65 work-years of consultant services for technical assistance to EDM management and for carrying out operational and sector policy studies. In addition, technical studies and preliminary designs will be carried out pursuant to the second stage of the program.

The IDA's Power/Water Project was part of a larger government rehabilitation program, financed by the CCCE, FAC, KfW and OPEC.

The overall objectives of the project were to extend and improve the supply of electricity and water to the population of Bamako, Segou and Mopti, and manage the sub-sector efficiently. Specifically, the objectives were: (i) to strengthen EDM's managerial and operational capability through a substantial TA project; (ii) to rehabilitate and extend the power and water distribution system of Bamako; (iii) to build a power generation plant in Mopti; and (iv) to study and design a transmission line to supply electricity to the Segou area.
