Strengthen electrification, drinking water supply and sanitation of the schools in Gabon
The Société d’Energie et d’Eau du Gabon (SEEG) and the United Nations Program for development (UNDP) have signed a memorandum of understanding on electrification, water supply and sanitation of schools in Gabon. For the first time in the country, a unique collaborative framework will put together various actors who will each bring their specific skills in this type of project. It is also expected that other economic operators provide financial support to this initiative. A dozen companies have already agreed to join. This partnership allows the SEEG, with the UNDP, to accompany the Gabonese Government in its effort for youth education. This project has a strong societal value that promotes education, training and integration of young Gabonese.
The first initiative of this project was to electrify and connect water to the public school of Matanda II in Port-Gentil, for which the city hall of Port Gentil is also involved. It will be complemented by a first deployment phase which will aim to achieve electrification, connecting water and minimum sanitary facilities of 30 schools, currently deprived of these essential resources.
