EKAM SETTLEMENT UPGRADE OFFSITE DRAINAGE CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS

The project is a collaborative effort between the Government of Haiti and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The primary objective of the project is to enhance the drainage system in the Ekam Settlement area, which is prone to flooding. The project scope includes the design and construction of improved drainage channels, which will help to reduce the risk of flooding and improve the overall living conditions of the residents in the area. The project will also involve the installation of new culverts and the rehabilitation of existing ones to ensure that the drainage system is functioning efficiently. The project area is located in the Ekam Settlement, which is situated in a region that is susceptible to heavy rainfall and flooding. The area is characterized by low-lying terrain, which makes it prone to waterlogging and flooding during heavy rainfall events. The improved drainage system will help to mitigate the effects of flooding and improve the overall quality of life for the residents in the area. The project will be implemented in several phases, with the first phase focusing on the design and construction of the improved drainage channels. The second phase will involve the installation of new culverts and the rehabilitation of existing ones. The project will also involve the construction of new roads and the rehabilitation of existing ones to ensure that the area is accessible and safe for residents and visitors. The project timeline is expected to be completed within a period of 12 months, with the first phase commencing in January 2017 and the second phase commencing in July 2017. The project will be implemented by a team of engineers and technicians who will work closely with the local community to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget. The project will have a significant impact on the residents of the Ekam Settlement, as it will help to improve their living conditions and reduce the risk of flooding. The project will also contribute to the overall development of the area, as it will improve the infrastructure and make it more accessible and safe for residents and visitors.
