> MADAGASCAR - Sandandrano Water

In line with a key commitment of the Government of Madagascar’s Action Plan 2007-2012, InfraCo has chosen to develop a project that proposes to establish a new water supply utility from scratch in order to serve approximately 11 communes that surround the capital city of Madagascar. The target communities have very limited access to formal water supply at present. The existing water utility JIRAMA has no financial capacity to extend its networks to service this under-served area and has welcomed our project initiative.
