o o f Box 2 The AfDB and ONEE, even more water
The National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water supply (ONEE) has a crucial public service mission: to supply the Moroccan population with water and electricity through the whole logistic value chain: production, transportation and distribution – and to be in charge of sanitation.
The AfDB has been cooperating with ONEE to help it better take over its public service mission, since 1970 in the electricity sector, and since 1978 in the water sector.
To date, the AfDB has spent some 19.7 billion MAD in total, in favour of ONEE, out of which 8 billion were directed at water and sa - nitation.
In terms of access to drinking water and sanitation, the AfDB has mobilised financing for 12 projects, out of which 8 have been concluded and 4 are ongoing.
The AfDB’s support has thus enabled: P
• to secure drinking water (AEP) in several cities in the Kingdom (Tangier, Settat, Meknès, Fès, Berkane, Khemisset, Essaouira, Ben - I H S
guerir, Sidi Kacem, Berrechid, etc.). Nowadays, two big projects are ongoing: the reinforcement of the AEP in the coastal area of R E N
Rabat-Casablanca, as well as Marrakech and the neighbouring areas; T R A O P
• to contribute towards the generalisation of the AEP in the rural areas, in 4 provinces: Kénitra, Chefchaouen, Settat, and Azilal; C L C U O • to participate in the financing of liquid sanitation projects (collection and purification of used water) in Khouribga, Oued Zem and F R T I O U
Boujaad, namely, for the benefit of a population of approximately 380,000 inhabitants; R F M F
• to match strategic projects on the model of the Azur plan in the tourism sector, namely at the level of Essaouira and El Jadida. D O N S A E
