The project, located on the shores of Lake Mugesera in Rwamagana District, Eastern Province, is a cornerstone of Rwanda\u2019s efforts to enhance water security. <\/p>\n

The loan agreement was signed by Mohamed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD, and John Mirenge, Ambassador of Rwanda to the UAE, during a ceremony attended by senior officials from both sides on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. <\/p>\n

Al Suwaidi emphasized the importance of the project in promoting economic and social progress. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement reflects ADFD\u2019s commitment to financing infrastructure projects that promote economic and social progress in beneficiary countries. It also underscores our commitment to strengthening and advancing our strategic partnership with the Republic of Rwanda, contributing to the development of key sectors vital to the country\u2019s growth,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Karenge Water Treatment Plant project will expand transmission and distribution systems, ensuring clean and sustainable water supplies to critical areas in Rwanda. By incorporating advanced technologies, the initiative aims to improve the efficiency of water systems, address growing demand, and strengthen the nation\u2019s water security. <\/p>\n

Ambassador Mirenge expressed Rwanda\u2019s appreciation for ADFD\u2019s support, saying that cooperation with ADFD demonstrates the UAE\u2019s steadfast commitment to promoting sustainable development globally. <\/p>\n

“The expansion of the water transmission and distribution systems at the Karenge Water Treatment Plant is a critical initiative to achieve our national objectives of providing clean water to our population and developing robust and sustainable water infrastructure to meet the needs of communities,” the ambassador remarked.<\/p>\n

The initiative is also expected to create jobs and elevate the quality of life for Rwandan citizens. <\/p>\n

As part of a larger program to ensure Kigali\u2019s self-sufficiency in water supply, the project will include the construction of a water treatment plant with a daily capacity of 36,000 cubic meters, along with expanded distribution systems to key areas of the capital. <\/p>\n
