The Canaan area has served as an area of refuge for an increasing number of people after the 2010 earthquake, and people living there since are suffering of a lack of access to basic services. One of the objectives of the ECP Program, funded by the American Red Cross and implemented by Global Communities, is to promote Canaan’s urban development with public services and infrastructure construction.

The problem of water is the most crucial for the people who live in this new city without infrastructure. The ECP Program, together with DINEPA, has developed a plan for the creation of a drinking water network that will enable residents of the Canaan Center zone (+30,000 inhabitants) to have access to drinking water. It is also a question of creating a network in harmony with the existing network of DINEPA and plans for future extension of this Agency according to the needs of the different communities. The system should be designed with DINEPA's marketing choices in mind and in order to ensure sustainability.

An aquifer study was commissioned by GC and will serve as the basis for the Canaan Center Water Supply System study. This study has provided the opportunity to evaluate the feasibility of a system that involves the drilling of wells, The pumping of water to high-level reservoirs, the distribution of water through kiosk and / or residential network networks managed by private organizations in the framework of public-private partnerships. The study is attached Annex B.
Additionally, UN Habitat commissioned an assessment “Improving the Water Supply and Sanitation Situation of the Canaan Area, Haiti – UNHABITAT, 2016”. The assessment is in the attached Annex C.

Global Communities is planning to build Canaan Center Water System, based on the design, to serve the population of Canaan Center area for an estimated construction budget of $900,000. The purpose of the RFA is to subaward qualified organizations or firms the Canaan Center Water System STUDY, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION.
