BORDA Africa

The four countries where we operate — Mali, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia — are characterised by increasing urban migration and rapid urbanisation. Local policy-makers and authorities face an enormous challenge: to provide all citizens with adequate sanitation systems. Those living in low-income unplanned communities are particularly affected.

BORDA West Africa

BORDA West Africa operates in two countries: Senegal and Mauritania, with its regional office located in Dakar, Senegal.

The region faces significant challenges, including rapid urbanization, inadequate sanitation infrastructure, and environmental degradation. Local policy-makers and authorities must develop flexible, decentralized sanitation systems to protect public health and foster sustainable development. Collaborative efforts with communities and stakeholders are essential to ensure long-term success.

BORDA South Asia

BORDA South Asia operates in three countries: India, Bangladesh and Nepal with its regional office located in Bangalore, India.

The phenomenal urban population growth in South Asia is not supported by proportionate infrastructure development. Local policy-makers and authorities face an enormous challenge: to provide all citizens with adequate, affordable and sustainable sanitation systems. Flexible, decentralised systems are needed to protect the environment and the health and dignity of local residents.

BORDA Southeast Asia

BORDA Southeast Asia (SEA) and its professional local partner organisations are active in two countries: Cambodia, Laos.
Cities and towns across Southeast Asia are developing extremely dynamically. Many municipalities face significant challenges: the rapid growth of unplanned settlements, demographic and technological change, climate change, new patterns of consumption and social inequalities. Meeting these challenges requires new approaches to providing essential public services, creating liveable and inclusive public space and adequately managing natural resources.

According to the World Bank, globally over 2 billion people do not have access to improved sanitation. Our goal is to improve the living conditions of these socially disadvantaged groups by creating and facilitating access to basic needs services such as energy supply, sanitation, wastewater management, and water provision while maintaining a safe environment.
