FRANCEVILLE, Gabon — July 15, 2026 – In a move to assess the real access of the population to essential water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services, Gabon has launched a national survey in Franceville, the capital of Haut-Ogooué province.
The survey, conducted under the supervision of national coordinator Francis Olivier Nang, aims to gather updated data on the availability of potable water, the quality of sanitation installations, hygiene practices, and the priority needs of households. This initiative is part of the Gabonese government’s commitment to address the challenges in providing adequate WASH services.
The survey’s results will serve as a reference for enhancing living conditions, public health, and access to essential services.
The Grand Franceville region, recognized as strategic, is critical for understanding disparities between urban, peri — urban, and rural areas. Local authorities have welcomed the initiative, emphasizing its contribution to better investment planning in the WASH sector.
The survey is expected to provide a comprehensive picture of the current situation, leading to more informed policies and interventions.
