The award, presented to SEN’EAU, a joint venture between SUEZ and the Senegalese government, recognises the project’s impact in delivering sustainable and high-quality water services, and its contribution toward achieving the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. It was the only African project selected among 60 international initiatives.

Launched five years ago, SEN’EAU was established to address the mounting pressure on Senegal’s water resources brought about by climate change, rapid urbanisation, and population growth. It has since provided continuous access to clean, safe drinking water to over 10 million people across urban and peri-urban areas of the country.
