The PRRM attended the signing of the convention for this strategic project. Efforts to strengthen access to drinking water for populations in the country's most vulnerable areas, particularly in the southern region of the island, continue. A major breakthrough has been recorded in efforts to strengthen water supply in southern Madagascar. The Government, through the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (MEAH), has just signed an agreement with Aureate Ressources for the establishment of a seawater desalination plant in Ambovombe. A project that goes beyond infrastructure, but will save lives, improve health, open economic prospects and, above all, sustainably resolve water supply issues in the Androy region, according to Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, president of the Refoundation of the Republic of Madagascar, who was present at the convention signing at the State Palace of Ambohitsorohitra. Sustainable. With a production capacity of 1,500 m3 per day, this plant is part of the Government's efforts to "develop and diversify water resources and guarantee universal access to quality and sustainable drinking water." Thus, this project aims to complement existing solutions to address structural problems related to water scarcity in this region particularly exposed to drought and climate change impacts. It also aims to strengthen local water security, support economic and social development, and improve the health of beneficiary populations. The implementation agreement, signed yesterday at Ambohitsorohitra, aims to "formalize the willingness of both parties to collaborate on the realization of this project and clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each in its development and execution." It reflects, to this effect, the common commitment of the parties to launch preparatory work as well as construction work necessary for the establishment of this strategic infrastructure, in a spirit of partnership and mutual trust.
