Organizational audit of SOMAPEP-SA - Mali
Context
In 2010, the Government of Mali reformed the urban water sector by creating two water companies: SOMAPEP-SA, responsible for asset management, and SOMAGEP-SA, responsible for operations.
Given the challenges of developing the drinking water sector and the difficulties SOMAPEP-SA is experiencing in meeting the project implementation deadlines, particularly Kabala (Bamako's drinking water supply), the authorities have decided to review the structure's capacities regarding its work management and operation control missions.
Objective
