However, it should be noted that the works caused some disruption of road traffic and the facilities of the National Water and Sanitation Office (ONEA). As a result, some areas of the city are facing water cuts.

In short, it is a question of contributing to the resilience of the populations of the areas hard hit by insecurity.
