Identification study of sustainable financing mechanisms for the urban sanitation sub-sector - Senegal
Context
Since 1996, the National Sanitation Office of Senegal (ONAS) has been providing the public service of collection, treatment, recovery and disposal of wastewater and rainwater in urban and peri-urban areas. For several years, the financial resources (fees, taxes, etc.) collected have been insufficient to meet the various operating and investment expenses.
Objective
Identify sustainable financing mechanisms for the sanitation sector in addition of the existing ones and develop an action plan and a timetable for the implementation of the selected measures.
Our contribution
The ICEA team conducted the following activities :
- Financial and regulatory diagnosis :
- Regulatory and institutional diagnosis
- Analysis of assets and investment programs
- Financial diagnosis of the ONAS and mobilized resources
- Update of the financial model
- Summary of the resources that can be mobilized
- Identification of new financing mechanisms and definition of an action plan :
- Benchmark regarding the financing of the sanitation sub-sector
- Proposal for new resources to be mobilized
- Development of an action plan with an implementation timetable
The team used its expertise in financing sanitation services, both in France and abroad, to propose new financial resources that could be mobilized by the ONAS in the existing legal and regulatory context, in order to improve its financial situation.
