Mali’s Minister of Urban Planning, Housing, Land Management, Territorial Planning and Population, Imirane Abdoulaye Touré, officially handed over waste management equipment worth over 2.2 billion CFA francs to the Direction des Services Urbains, de Voirie et d’Assainissement (DSUVA) in Bamako.
The handover took place on October 20, 2026, and included representatives from several Malian ministries and the World Bank.
This action supports the Bamako Urban Resilience Project and the country’s “Octobre Urbain 2026” initiative, a program aligned with the transitional president’s strategic vision. The Malian government secured urgent funding from the World Bank to provide DSUVA with modern equipment designed to improve solid waste management in the capital city. The purchased equipment includes 17 waste collection trucks, 74 collection containers, 7 heavy machines for maintaining waste sites, and a complete tire repair kit.
DSUVA will use these resources to address waste issues in Bamako and improve operations at the Noumoubougou technical landfill.
