Car project for Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation in Three Divisional Headquarters and Surrounding Rural Areas Appraisal Report

2.1 Project 
Components 
2.1.1
To meet the priority needs of the population of Berberati, Bouar and Bossangoa 
and targeted surrounding villages, the project will be structured around the following three 
main components: (i) development of drinking water supply and sanitation facilities; (ii) 
institutional support at the central and local level for project implementation, infrastructure 
operation and sustainability; and (iii) project management. Hence, the project will finance the 
rehabilitation, strengthening and extension of drinking water networks; the construction of 
latrines in public places and a controlled landfill in each town. It will further finance drinking 
water supply in 43 rural localities of the region by building standpipes, hand-operated pump 
(HOP) boreholes, standalone water points (SWPs) and simplified water distribution networks 
(SWDNs). Thus, in Berberati Division, 11 HOP boreholes will be built in nine villages and

two SWPs in two other villages; in Bouar Division, 15 HOP boreholes will be built in 12 
villages and in Bossangoa, 20 HOP boreholes will be constructed in 20 villages. Support by 
way of material, equipment and training will be provided to the DGH at the central level, the 
Regional Directorates of Bouar and Bossangoa, the three SODECA centres and the municipal 
councils concerned. An important communication component for behavioural change is also 
envisaged.
