The Democratic Republic of Congo DRC is one of the world's most water-rich areas. However, nearly 70 of its rural population has no access to drinking water and 96 lack access to sanitation.
These dire statistics do not just describe the rural areas of the DRC but many other regions of Africa. Governments lack resources and know-how to address these challenges, but this has been slowly changing with strategic investments aimed at transforming countries, communities, and businesses and building resilience and self sufficiency.
The change is being led by the African Development Fund ADF, the concessional arm of the African Development Bank, which has been investing in impactful projects around the continent for decades.
