Côte d’Ivoire has taken an additional important step toward guaranteeing access to clean water with the inauguration of the urban water supply system for the Sub-Prefecture of Galébré, said a statement on Monday.
This is one of the first systems completed under the country’s national Water for All (Eau Pour Tous) program. Designed to improve the lives of 35,000 inhabitants in the long term, this modern infrastructure, delivered by Mitrelli, reinforces the Ivorian government’s commitment to ensure that clean water becomes a fundamental right for everyone.
This inauguration marks a flagship achievement within the government’s broader Water for All program, to modernise water infrastructure nationwide and close long-standing gaps in access for underserved communities. It will ultimately provide more than 1.5 million people across 200 sub-prefectures with sustainable access to potable water.
The inauguration, held on December 12, was led by Bouaké Fofana, Minister of Hydraulics and Sanitation, reaffirming the government’s determination to expand equitable access to clean water across rural and semi-urban regions.
The newly inaugurated urban water supply system in Galébré will serve 35,000 inhabitants in the long term, providing a reliable and sustainable supply of clean water.
The infrastructure includes a complete urban water supply system designed to improve public health, reduce waterborne diseases, and support socio-economic development across the region.
As of December 2025, significant progress has been achieved by the government with the support of Mitrelli across the Water for All national programs.
Works are currently underway in 25 villages. An additional six sites are scheduled to begin in December, while three more villages are expected to be completed before year-end. Provisional receptions for several sites are planned for January 2026.
