Environment for private sector participation

• Decree No. 2012-1151 of 19 December 2012 relating to public-private contracts (currently under revision)

Wastewater management There are no recent data regarding wastewater management. However, historical data show that only 100,000 m 3 /year of municipal wastewater produced in 1994 was treated. The remaining wastewater is likely to have been collected through alternative sewerage systems, such as soak pits and septic tanks (FAO 2018). Data on the volume of treated wastewater is lacking.

Water pricing facility

• Decree fixing the water tariff for the 2003–2007 period • Order fixing the rate of the special tax on water consumption and respecting the manner of its recovery • Cross-subsidy through the water tariff policy • A fee for the Water Development Fund (FDE) and a surtax for the National Water Fund (FNH) finances investments and maintenance and also subsidizes new connections and the construction of new water plants
