The Uvira Hydrobiology Research centre has received this 15th May 2023 a vehicle from the Latawama project of Enabel in Burundi on the financing of the European Union.
“I have worked here for many years. I have witnessed different supports. I’ve seen different activities at this plant, I’ve never seen a pump with such a performance that can help us empty the sludge from the ponds over a length of 200 linear meters”
The United Nations Water Conference held from 22 to 24 March 2023 must result in a bold action program on water that will give this vital element for our world the commitment it deserves.
Thanks to the LATAWAMA project jointly implemented by the Belgian Development Agency Enabel and the Lake Tanganyika Authority with funds from the European Union, the wastewater collection network of Bujumbura has been digitalized.
On 8 March 2023, the technical team appointed by Enabel, the Belgian engineering consultancy ALMADIUS, presented a diagnosis of the current situation and the scenarios to be envisaged to equip the city with a waste management system and the development of the circular economy (recovery of sorted waste).
