Luanda’s rapid population growth has led to severe water supply shortages and outbreaks of water-borne diseases. The strategic Quilonga water treatment project was designed to help, but the project stalled.
We provided a structured financing line of USD 449.2 million to restart the build and implementation of this water treatment facility, supporting the project with monitoring, coordination, and ESG integration. The project is due to complete in the second half of 2027.
Quilonga will collect water from the abundant Kwanza River, supplying up to 518 million litres of water daily, benefitting up to 3.5 million people. It will guarantee a sustainable and safe water supply, strengthening water security in critical areas in Luanda and delivering major improvements for public health.
