Morocco's National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) and the French Development Agency (AFD) have officially launched the "Water Quality in Africa" program. The initiative, announced in early 2026, aims to enhance water quality management and access to safe drinking water across the African continent.
The program will focus on sharing Morocco's expertise in water resource management and utility operation with partner countries. Initial phases are set to involve technical assistance, capacity building for local operators, and support for infrastructure projects aimed at improving water treatment and distribution systems.
This partnership builds on a longstanding collaboration between ONEE and AFD, which has previously involved financing for major water and sanitation projects in Morocco. The new program extends this model of cooperation to a broader regional scale, targeting sustainable development goals related to clean water and sanitation.
