Institutional technical assistance to the Enugu Water Company

As part of its strategy to support improvement of the urban water supply sector, AFD has provided funding to Enugu State for the World Bank-financed 3rd National Urban Water Sector Reform Project (NUWSRP 3). This project aims to provide institutional technical assistance to the Enugu State Water Corporation (ENSWC) to improve both access to water services for the population of Enugu and the financial viability of the Water Corporation, and to improve sector governance.

  • Preparing a 3-year performance-based contract between Enugu State and ENSWC and preparing a 5-year business plan for ENSWC;
