The aim of the Cotonou and Secondary Cities Rainwater Sanitation Projects (PAPC & PAPVS) is to build, in the short, medium and long term, primary drainage works for run-off water in the city of Cotonou and in certain secondary cities, with appropriate outlets. The aim of these projects is to reduce the impact of flooding. They focus on the towns of Cotonou, Porto-Novo, Abomey-Calavi, Bohicon, Abomey, Ouidah, Sèmè-Kpodji, Parakou and Natitingou, and will ultimately help to reduce the prevalence of water-borne diseases caused by flooding. They will also facilitate the movement of goods and people and lead to significant growth in local economic activities. These projects are essential to the full implementation of the Asphaltage project.
