In May 2024, the community of Ndiago, Mauritania celebrated the inauguration of a major water infrastructure project that provides access to drinking water to more than 3,000 residents.
Issues linked to lack of pumping capacity and problems with pipe connections, prevented the inhabitants from accessing clean water, meaning that people were often drinking dirty, salty water, often carrying diseases.
Following a technical study and work with the government – a 200m3 water tower and extension of the water mains network - supplementing the State /ONSER system- were built with contributions and support from GTA project partners and implementing partner Ecodev. This ambitious initiative is an example of how public-private collaboration can drive meaningful change, addressing critical community needs.
