February 2025Project Overview
The ministry of energy and water resources in partnership with unicef is planning to carry out the rehabilitation and upgrading of water schemes in Dhobley and Afmadow districts in Lower Juba province. The project aims to improve access to water services for the communities in Afmadow and Dhobley towns.
Access to clean and safe water is crucial for the health and well-being of communities. In the Afmadow district, communities primarily depend on groundwater from boreholes and shallow wells.
