- UK Minister of State for Africa Visits Cameroon Showing Support for Biwater’s Water Supply Scheme Contract
Surrey, UK – 19 February 2018:
As part of an official visit to Cameroon last week, Harriett Baldwin MP, Minister of State for Africa, visited Cameroon’s water utility corporation (Camwater), showing support for Biwater’s project in Cameroon.
Mr. Gervais Bolenga, Director General of Camwater graciously hosted the visit at Camwater’s Headquarters in Douala. During the meeting, Mr. Bolenga outlined the importance of the project and thanked the Minister for the British Government’s support. Together with Camwater and Biwater representatives directly involved in the water supply project, Mr. Rowan Laxton, the British High Commissioner attended the meeting.
“The support of UK Government and UK Export Finance was extremely well received by all those gathering in Douala last week. It remains clear that Biwater’s solution will benefit communities across the country for years to come, providing them with improved access to potable water,” said Giles Jackson, Regional Director for Africa, Biwater.
The Cameroon Urban and Semi-urban Water Supply Scheme will provide drinking water to key population centres across central and southern Cameroon to address potable water shortages.
