21/05/2026
Kigali, 21st May 2026. A group of 18 postgraduate students from Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University visited the Kanzenze Water Treatment Plant on Wednesday, 20 May 2026, as part of an international exchange program focused on Procurement Management, Environmental Sustainability and Social Standards.
The visit was organized under a World Bank supported academic program through the Institute of Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards (IPES), aimed at providing students with practical exposure to institutional operations beyond classroom learning. During the visit, the students toured the facility and observed the modern water production and treatment processes implemented at the plant.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Dr. Terseer Moses Sende praised the plant’s advanced technology, operational efficiency and commitment to sustainability. “The water we have seen here is one that we have never seen, at least in Nigeria. The processes leading to this water are very clean, very perfect and sustainable. This is commendable,” he said. Dr. Sende also highlighted the effectiveness of Rwanda’s automated systems in water production and management, noting that the use of technology contributes significantly to service quality and operational consistency. “We have seen that everything is automated. The systems are working, the online processes are working, and the machines are up to standard,” he added. He further explained that the visit gave students valuable practical knowledge on how environmental sustainability policies are implemented in real institutional settings. He commended Rwanda for its commitment to cleanliness, sustainability, and efficient governance in public utility services.
Kanzenze Water Treatment Plant is one of Rwanda’s major water treatment facilities developed in Bugesera District under the Kigali Bulk Water Supply Project. The project is jointly owned by Kigali Water Ltd and the Government of Rwanda and was established to help address water shortages in Kigali City and Bugesera District. Operational since February 2021, the plant has a production capacity of 40,000 cubic meters of water per day (40 million liters daily). Of this supply, Kigali receives 30,000 cubic meters per day, while Bugesera District receives 10,000 cubic meters per day.
