Community Water Projects

The Programmes and Projects prepared by the Man Dave Group Community Water Department are based on a vision for national sector development and provide a proposed intervention strategy in the water supply and sanitation sector in 3 segments, namely; Urban Water Supply, Small Towns Water Supply and Rural Water Supply. Details of our programmes and projects are as follows:

RURAL WATER SUPPLY PROGRAMME

The Community Rural Water Supply Programme was embarked upon to address the challenges of providing accelerated access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation to the rural and small populations. The programme greatly contributed to the achievement made so far on the goals of NEEDS and the MDGs in water supply and sanitation. Furthermore, there are interventions in rural water supply by International Agencies and such as:

Community Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme.
African Development Bank Assisted Rural Water Supply & Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI)
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Assisted Rural Water Supply Project – for the guinea worm endemic communities of Oyo, Kano & Yobe States.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Assisted Rural Water Supply in five States, namely: Kebbi, Niger, Taraba and Ondo.
Chinese-Assisted Rural Water Supply Programme

SMALL TOWNS WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION PROGRAMME (STWSSP)

The Small Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (STWSSP) is a comprehensive initiative of improving Water Supply and Sanitation in Nigeria’s over 4,000 small towns. It focuses on community ownership and management of water supply and sanitation facilities with community selection of technologies in a participatory manner. It also emphasizes community willingness and ability to pay for a percentage of construction cost as well as meeting the recurrent costs. The objective of the programme is to facilitate access to safe water and adequate sanitation to the over 60million residents of small towns in a demand-driven approach and to develop the best delivery mechanism for water supply and sanitation to be replicated later across the country. It also fits well into other poverty alleviation programmes. Pilot Project Execution:

World Bank Assisted Pilot Project in Ebonyi, Katsina and Niger.
European Commission (EC) Pilot Project in Adamawa, Delta and Ekiti.

URBAN WATER SUPPLY PROGRAMME

Federal Government intervention in the urban water supply was targeted at providing sustainable water supply to over 35 million people in urban settlements through various urban water supply projects. However, most of the projects are at various stages of completions due to lack of sufficient budgetary provisions. Funds have now been provided in 2016 & 2017 Appropriation Acts to complete some of the hitherto stalled projects. The programme is supported by some development partners in the list below:
