As of October 30, 2013, 334.990 additional people, representing 66% of the end-of-project-target (EOPT), have gained access to piped water thanks to the social connections and standpipes program launched in September 2012. Initial delays in the procurement of the urban water component are being resorbed. All the large civil works contracts originally planned have been awarded, except the one for the city of Arlit which has been delayed for justified technical reasons. New water supply activities resulting from the project restructuring are being actively prepared for procurement. Notable progress has also been made in the implementation of the sanitation component (school and community sanitation) since the previous ISR; five out of the seven contracts planned under the component have been awarded and the works are expected to begin soon. With regard to the reform, the financial equilibrium of the urban water sub-sector is maintained without need to adjust water tariffs Page 1 of 4 The World Bank Report No: ISR12843 in 2013 and the concession contract between the Government and SPEN (the asset-holding company) was re-negotiated and extended for 10 years as it was the case for the lease contract with the private operator.
