Hargeisa Water Agency Commercial Finance Pre-feasibility Report

The Hargeisa Water Agency (HWA) presents opportunities for catalytic investments ranging from US$30,000 to US$2.5m that could cumulatively triple HWA revenues from an average of SLSH 28bn (US$ 2.7m) to over SLSH 82bn (US$7.8m) within 3 years. The key opportunities lie in investments that leverage grant-financed infrastructure to generate additional revenue. Donors are currently implementing infrastructure projects worth more than US$40m to develop and link new water supply systems to an upgraded transmission line and distribution network in Hargeisa City.
