Abstract: In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), only a third of the population has basic access to drinking water. The lack of access to drinking water is particularly marked in urban areas, especially in the capital city of Kinshasa and its outlying districts. This results in poor hygiene and sanitation conditions and in large amounts of time spent every day for collecting water. To improve this situation, AFD initiated the PILAEP "Promotion de modalités Innovantes pour L'Accès à I'Eau Potable" (2008-2012) and PILAEP2 (2017-2021) projects, which involve setting up autonomous drinking water distribution networks for people living in the outlying districts of Kinshasa and Bas Congo who are not served by the national water distribution company (REGIDESO). Each network is managed by a Users' Association (ASUREP) and comprises a borehole, a reservoir, a distribution network and a system of standpipes, capable of supplying 1,000 inhabitants with drinking water. This report presents the impact assessment of the PILAEP2 project. The first section describes the evaluation protocol and the survey methods used to measure the project's impact. The second section presents descriptive analyses of the study districts, their demographic dynamics and changes in water supply and demand over the study period. The third section presents the results of the evaluation of the impact of the PILAEP 2 project on the populations targeted by the project, focusing on five groups of indicators: water supply, physical and mental health, education, employment and governance.
