Water and energy solutions for Sub-Saharan Africa
The objectives of this project are to:
1. Improve overall system efficiency in municipal water systems, reducing costs and negative environmental impacts, while expanding water and wastewater services to the region’s underserved populations, specifically targeting the three pilot cities.
2. Build capacity of municipalities, water utilities, private sector companies and NGOs in the three cities focused on urban infrastructure development to develop a comprehensive strategy to work on identifying the potential energy savings from this often overlooked sector.
3. Create efficiency models based on capacity building partnerships with local water and wastewater municipal entities to ensure sustainability in Jos, Accra and Addis Ababa.
Outputs and detailed tasks
Main outputs expected from the contractor will include:
Together with local partners, define and map the layout of the water system;
Conduct a full energy efficiency audit of the local water system in all three cities;
Establish local goals and benchmarks for measuring improved energy efficiency in local water utility operations in all three cities;
Strengthen technical capacity of local staff for locally-based energy audits of water and sanitation service providers ;
Prepare a guidebook and course on “How to Do Energy Audits in sub-Saharan African Water Utilities.
