Abu Dhabi<\/strong> development fund <\/strong>to boost water supply in Mauritania: <\/strong>The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) is financing a project to supply potable water to Mauritania\u2019s Kiffa and the surrounding region, state news agency Wam<\/a> reports. The USD 300 mn project is implemented in collaboration with Arab, Islamic, and international development financiers, and aims to enhance Mauritania\u2019s water security. <\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>The project will transfer water from the Senegal River to supply water in the Assaba and Guidimaka regions. Once operational, it is expected to serve over 180k people in its initial phase, expanding to around 500k by 2050. Infrastructure includes water production and treatment facilities with a daily capacity of up to 50k cbm alongside a transmission and a distribution network extending more than 780 km. <\/p>\n

ADFD has financed several infrastructure projects in Africa this year<\/strong>, with an AED 91.8 mn<\/a> road infrastructure project inked with the Ugandan government in October, two Maldives<\/a>airports<\/a>, and a solar plant<\/a> in Comoros, among other projects.<\/p>\n
