Moundou

Moundou is one of Chad’s principal secondary cities and an important economic centre in the south. Urban growth has increased demand for reliable water, drainage, roads and municipal services, while seasonal flooding remains a practical constraint where storm-water systems are incomplete or poorly maintained.

The Urban Development Project financed water-supply, drainage, sanitation and institutional improvements in Moundou, treating basic infrastructure and municipal capacity as parts of the same urban-development problem. National climate analysis now reinforces the need for more planned growth and resilient drainage across Chadian cities. For Moundou, the priority is to keep neighbourhood expansion connected to dependable infrastructure rather than allowing service gaps to widen. Better water, drainage and urban management directly support the city’s wider role as a regional centre for commerce and services.
