The rehabilitation of urban roads and the Greater Libreville water pipeline program were the main topics discussed during this working session between the President of the Republic and his hosts. To this end, the Prime Minister gave the Head of State a progress report on the progress of work relating to the Integrated Program for Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation in Libreville (PIAEPAL).
Launched in 2021 by the government and supported by the African Development Bank, this program costing 77 billion CFA francs includes the renewal of 149 km of the drinking water distribution network in Greater Libreville, and the strengthening and the extension of the drinking water distribution network over 131 km.
