AfDB-Financed Sanitation Project Delivers Equipment to Yaoundé
What happened
The Yaoundé Urban Community handed over 21 items of public works and sanitation equipment to the city's seven district municipalities on October 8. This equipment, financed by the African Development Bank Group, is part of the Yaoundé City Sustainable Enhanced Drainage and Sanitation Project. Seven manual compactors, which are currently being produced by United Nations Office for Project Services, are scheduled for later delivery.

Why it matters
The project aims to make the Cameroonian capital more resilient to flooding. The machinery will be used to clear and maintain drains, restore damaged outlets, rehabilitate dirt roads, and scale up the collection and removal of household waste.
