The Rural Drinking Water Supply Project was launched by the Government of The Gambia in 2019. Its overall objective is to improve drinking water supply and sanitation in remote localities. The objective is in line with the National Development Plan 2018-2021 put in place by the Government of The Gambia.

According to the Gambian authorities, the start of construction work on the construction of solar-powered drinking water facilities is imminent. It is expected to take 30 months, including five months for the detailed design, four months for the tendering and procurement procedures, and 21 months for the procurement and implementation of the actual works.

Current Status

As it happens in with many other government projects over the years this has not been achived and even urban centres have shoratge of water supply. The country's main water supply provider NAWEC is struggling to achieve government blue print trajectory plan for rural water supply. We as an organisation can make a difference by providing support for the marginalised communities in rural and urban centres. Join and donate today to see this vision come to pass.
