In northern Tunisia’s Sejnane region, rural households that once relied on wells and springs now have reliable drinking water thanks to the Rural Drinking Water Supply Programme, financed by the African Development Bank and implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries. The programme rehabilitated aging systems, built new networks, and drilled boreholes, improving access for more than 420,000 people. Coverage in Sejnane rose from 48% in 2015 to 93.5% in 2024, with nearly 1,400 schools now connected. Communities report safer learning environments, better living conditions, and new economic opportunities, especially for women.
