Paris: financing solidarity projects by levying money on the water bill and financing through its water budget local projects in Niger and Senegal. In 2006, € 1,000,000 will be available for solidarity projects carried out by both city officials and users associations as long as they respect the city of Paris’ ethical guidelines.
Angers / Bamako
The cooperation between Bamako and Angers has been developing on many political and technical issues for more than 30 years. Among them, water is at the top of the agenda. Holes and water towers have been built throughout the city of Bamako to enhance the adduction system. Sanitation has become a new priority : testings are carried out on a particular district.
This partnership between the two cities is now being enlarged to the two rivers : the Loire river which is part of UNESCO heritage and the Niger river. This is a first attempt to group together the Malian and French local bodies to work on the water issue.
Mulhouse / Sofara (Mali) + El Khroub (Algérie)
Since 2000 Mulhouse has been involved in a technical cooperation in the fields of hygiene in rural areas, water supply and sanitation with the city of El Khroub in the region of Constantine (Algeria).
Besides, Mulhouse supports since 2003 a rural town in Mali called Sofara. Its expertise is focused on issues like drinking water supply in relation with more global urban issues like town planning.
