Southern Madagascar Water Assessment: Technical Report Technical Report
Description:
The Southern Madagascar Water Assessment Buy-In aims to develop actionable recommendations for USAID’s water security programming across the Grand Sud of Madagascar. This technical report, developed by USAID REAL-Water, is the third project output, presenting findings and preliminary programming recommendations.
Among other water-related programs across the Grand Sud, the World Bank is investing the order of US $16 million through 20261 in village-level water supply infrastructure rehabilitation across the area of interest (AOI) in the Grand Sud, focused on upgrading and rehabilitating existing manual pump-equipped boreholes, as well as conversion to solar power. The transition aims to enhance water supply reliability and efficiency across the region, but the rapid pace of implementation poses risks and challenges. The government’s institutional capacity to regulate this transition is questionable, as is the capacity of service providers (which sometimes include the communities themselves) to professionally manage rehabilitated systems.
