In order to attain the Millennium Development Goals and to move towards universal access to
improved water supplies in urban areas by 2025, FCFA59 billion needs to be spent during the period
2000-2010 and FCFA30 billion during the period 2011-2020. Including peri-urban areas, identified
spending needs between 2000 and 2020 are some FCFA145 billion. At present, STEE receives
funding of FCFA1 billion per annum and is therefore dependent on external funding. In addition,
FCFA79-88 billion is needed in the twenty years period for basic urban sanitation services, especially
rainwater drainage and latrines. This is without any formal sewerage and sewage treatment.
Privatising STEE
A concession agreement for the private management of STEE was signed on January 28 2001, which
includes the government’s take-over of the long-term debts and the transfer to a separate debtrecovery
structure of STEE’s short-term domestic liabilities. The Agence Française de
Developpement (AFD) is funding a €8.3 million stormwater drainage project in the eastern districts of
the town of N'djamena. In addition to €10 million financing from the World Bank, the AFD also
provided €5.1 million for the privatisation of STEE.
