Jyro Sy Rano Malagasy (Jirama) water project, Madagascar
Name of the project and location
Jyro Sy Rano Malagasy (Jirama) water project, Madagascar.
Project description
The project consists of the construction of production infrastructure (ground water abstraction) aimed at increasing the available quantity of water to guarantee supplies to the greater Antananarivo area until 2015. It includes the upgrading and expansion of the network with mains and supply pipelines and its extension into outlying areas not currently being served.
The objective of the project is to diversify sources, and improve water-provision infrastructure, in order to curb the deterioration in the service provided to households already covered, and to create the extra capacity needed to serve a further 500 000 people, 75% of whom are located in the poorest outlying areas of the city.
Value
€47-million. The European Investment Bank (EIB) proposes to finance €23,5-million of the project.
