Senegal: World Bank Supports Expanded Water and Sanitation Services in Senegal

press release

Washington — The World Bank Group's Board of Executive Directors approved a US$70 million credit to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation services in urban and peri-areas in Senegal. The project will benefit an estimated 590,000 people in 2020, of which 50 percent are women.

The credit from the International Development Association (IDA)* supports the Urban Water and Sanitation Project, a program to quickly address difficulties arising from water shortages in the Dakar region. The project also will help boost water services in Petite Côte and increase access to water services throughout the country. A separate component will increase access to urban sanitation services outside of Dakar.
