The project entails developing sanitation services offered by the the Commune through the Mud Management and Water drainage Project.

The Commune also established a local management service dedicated to the mud drainage thanks to management tools and a procedure manuel on how the service functions.
We can highlight the increase in demand for mud drainage services since the officialisation of the station on 19 Août 2018. The station’s start up has been very satisfactory and populations have been very demanding !
