DELVIC Sanitation Initiatives S.A. is a Senegalese company, specialized in the treatment and valuation of sludge. Our contribution and services encompass the entire value chain of onsite sanitation. Delvic Sanitation Initiatives was the first private African company to manage Fecal Sludge Treatment Plants (FSTPs), such as the nine FSTPs in Dakar, Thiès, and Diourbel regions of Senegal as part of a public private partnership (PPP) with the National Office of Sanitation of Senegal (ONAS).  Delvic Sanitation Initiatives is also the first global privately held African company selected by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to acquire and operate the “Sedron Bioenergy Omniprocessor, a technological innovation that valorizes the treatment of fecal sludge and solid wastes by producing by-products such as electricity, water of excellent quality for industrial application and ashes to be used in agriculture and civil engineering.

VISION

Today Senegal is a reference in onsite sanitation, largely due to the public-private partnership granted by ONAS (National Office of Sanitation of Senegal), in the delegation of sanitation services along the sanitation value chain.

A bet won in Senegal by Delvic, who has become an important player in the sanitation sector in general and fecal sludge management in particular, which allowed us to extend our expertise in developing countries to become an African leader in productive sanitation.

Delvic has been selected to participate in the following programs and projects.

  • Program of Structuring the Sludge Market of the National Office of Sanitation of Senegal (ONAS).

  • Stanford Seed Program to share its experience of African private enterprise 100% dedicated to onsite sanitation during the African Business Forum.

MISSION

Worldwide, poor sanitation, recognized as a major cause of water-borne diseases, causes more than 1,200 deaths of children under five years of age per day.

Inadequate sanitation in Africa, including Senegal, is a major problem that is only increasing with population growth and trends such as water scarcity and urbanization.

As a stakeholder in the process of development and modernization of Senegalese individual sanitation, we are dedicated to the modernization of onsite sanitation and the treatment of the fecal sludge in particular, by providing sanitation solutions adapted to the market needs.

We provide services on the collection, transportation, treatment and recovery of fecal sludge as well as training, consulting, and engineering services, and support on the management of sludge and industrial wastewater.

We also work on the construction and rehabilitation of sanitation facilities.
