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.

The aim of the project is to support the Federal Ministry in implementing the recently approved solid and plastic waste management policies and to propose guidelines on all the structuring stages, in a context where the private sector is driving the sector. It also aims to build the capacity of stakeholders, and to ensure the establishment of a coherent dialogue between the federal state and the federated states
