Overview & key elements of interventions

• The African Development Bank Group commenced operations in Angola in 1991.
• It has invested over USD 150 million on concessionary terms in all sectors of the country’s economy.
• In the water and sanitation sector, the Bank has to-date financed one project incorporating a study for close to USD 22 million.
• The Bank’s funding in the water and sanitation sector is fully in line with the country’s strategic development plan and was anchored on the Bank’s 2005/2007 – 2009 Country Strategy for Angola.
• The Bank’s current project portfolio includes the on-going Sumbe water supply, sanitation and institutional support project, accounting for almost 23 percent of net commitments. The objective of the project is to improve the access, quality and sustainability of water supply and sanitation services of Sumbe town (capital of Kwanza Sul Province), including the peri-urban area, by rehabilitating and extending the water supply and sanitation system, and providing institutional support for the formation and functioning of a water utility.
• Past flagship projects in the water and sanitation sector completed in the country with Bank financing include the Luanda Storm Water Drainage System Rehabilitation Project and studies on drinking water supply and sanitation in Angola.
