Rwanda: WASAC Seeks New Contractor for Rubavu Waste Treatment Project
[New Times] WASAC Development Ltd is seeking a new contractor to complete the construction of a faecal sludge treatment plant and landfill in Rubavu Town after terminating the previous contract over poor performance.
WASAC Development Ltd is seeking a new contractor to finish the Rubavu faecal sludge treatment plant and landfill after the previous contractor performed poorly. The Rwf4.1 billion project, part of the Rwanda Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Programme, was halted due to contractor issues. Only 6.4% of the Rwf1.1 billion allocated in 2025/26 had been spent by the time of an inspection.
WASAC has allocated Rwf542.9 million from the 2026/27 budget to resume the project, which is expected to be completed within 16 months. The new faecal sludge treatment plant will have a capacity of 45.7 cubic meters per day, while the landfill will handle 35.9 tonnes of solid waste daily. An additional Rwf1.79 billion has been allocated for the Musanze facility, which will treat both faecal sludge and solid waste. Construction is scheduled to start in September 2026.
