# Senegal rural water infrastructure development > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/senegal-rural-water-infrastructure-development > Updated: 2026-10-12T17:33:33.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Office des forages ruraux (OFOR) has initiated several programs to address aging rural hydraulic infrastructure in Senegal. Initially, the agency launched a 10 billion CFA franc emergency program to rehabilitate 60 priority boreholes, noting that one-third of existing boreholes had exceeded their intended lifespan. This effort is part of a broader strategy including a 53 billion CFA franc project for new boreholes, water towers, and distribution networks, as well as an African Development Bank-funded initiative in the Southeast region. Following these infrastructure plans, OFOR finalized contract awards for a project to renew water towers across multiple regions. The contracts were divided into four lots: DELTA SA was awarded work for the Thiès, Diourbel, and Fatick regions; ECORE secured lots for the Kaffrine, Tambacounda, Kolda, and Sédhiou regions; and CSTI was awarded the contract for the Louga region. These definitive decisions follow a provisional attribution phase intended to allow for potential appeals. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-12: OFOR finalizes water tower renewal contracts The Office de Forages Ruraux (OFOR) has finalized contracts with DELTA SA, ECORE, and CSTI for the renewal of water towers across multiple regions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ofor-finalizes-water-tower-renewal-contracts ### 2026-09-16: OFOR launches 10 billion CFA franc program to rehabilitate Senegal boreholes Senegal's OFOR is launching a 10 billion CFA franc emergency program to rehabilitate 60 aging boreholes and improve rural water infrastructure and service reliability. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ofor-launches-10-billion-cfa-franc-program-to-rehabilitate-senegal-boreholes --- Cite as: Senegal rural water infrastructure development.
