WACA Resilience Investment Project 2 aims to shield over 200,000 Kotu residents from dangerous floods. The Ministry of Environment hired the consulting firm Hydro Nova to study Kotu Stream flood problems. Project leaders recently held a technical meeting with experts, officials, and community members to check progress. This World Bank-funded plan runs for five years across nine West African countries.
Dr. Muhammed Lamin Sanyang, WACA Project Coordinator, stressed how important community input remains throughout the planning stages. He called the current phase "the backbone" of their work. Everyone attending received encouragement to examine documents carefully. The meeting brought together representatives from different neighborhoods affected by flooding issues. Local voices help shape solutions that actually work for people living there.
Maimuna Ndow Jarju from the Ministry talked about climate change impacts already hurting families near Kotu Stream. She mentioned terrible smells during the dry season because of pollution problems. The government picked Hydro Nova because it trusts its abilities completely. Everyone involved wants high-quality results for both local communities and the entire country. Paolo Mastrocola from Hydro Nova promised excellent standards through teamwork between local experts and international partners.
