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 overall objective is to contribute to increased access to safe and sustainable water supply and sanitation services for people living in the coastal zone and surrounding islands in the Republic of Guinea, through increased preparation of phase 1 of the Guinean Islands and Coastal Water Supply and Sanitation Project (PAEPA-ILG), estimated to cost 30 million EUROS.
The main objective of the project is to improve the livelihoods of communities living in the Guinean islands and coastline through improved access to water supply and sanitation infrastructure through the implementation of the downstream project le Projet d'Alimentation en Eau Potable des Iles et du Littoral Guineen (PAEPA-ILG) The overall objective of the project (Study) is to carry out the detailed preliminary design (PDD), necessary for the Guinea Islands and Coastal Water Supply and Sanitation Project. Its specific objectives are (i) to deepen the socio-economic studies of the area concerned by phase 1 of the project; (ii) to carry out the detailed preliminary design studies (APD); (iii) to draw up the environmental and social safeguards instruments; and (iv) to prepare the tender documents (DAO) for the works of the PAEPA-ILG investment project.

The investment project that will follow on from this study will reach around 107,000 vulnerable people, over 50% of them women, who will benefit from improved, climate-resilient drinking water, hygiene and sanitation services. In addition, the project will encourage users to adopt good hygiene, water and sanitation practices and combat water-borne diseases. It will also help alleviate the workload of women and girls by reducing the drudgery of fetching water, and create direct jobs (temporary and permanent), at least 30% of which will be filled by women.
