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).
