Water lines (km)
Length of water pipes/trunk systems (km)
Definition
This indicator measures the total kilometers (km) of water pipes and trunk lines constructed or rehabilitated in OPEC Fund interventions. Trunk mains convey bulk water from the various sources to reservoirs or from treatment facilities. Water distribution pipes are part of water scheme pipe supply networks.
This indicator reflects the aggregate results of all projects completed in the public sector, or those that have reached Early Operation maturity in the private sector. The OFRF presents both the most recent year’s results (for the 12 months leading up to June 30th of the stated year) and three-year rolling cumulative values (for the 3 years leading up to June 30th of the stated year), to address annual data variability and provide a longer-term perspective on development results achieved.
Why it matters for the OPEC Fund
Expanding or rehabilitating water pipelines and trunk systems is essential for improving water supply reliability, reducing service losses, and ensuring households, farms, and businesses can access safe and sufficient water. The OPEC Fund advances these outcomes through operations in priority areas as outlined in the Review and Update of OPEC Fund Strategic Framework 2030—specifically Infrastructure Development, Human Capital, Food Security, and Climate Action—by supporting water infrastructure investments and strengthening the resilience and efficiency of water systems. This indicator aligns with SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).
