Carries every load-bearing figure: introduction in 2016 ("en 2016, les compteurs intelligents ont ete introduits dans l'offre de l'eau a Niamey"), 11%/1,325 of 15,000 planned, 47% of households naming malfunction, and the 18 billion FCFA projection for 100,000 meters. Based on 2022 fieldwork with household surveys and semi-structured interviews. This article dates the end of the SEEN contract to December 2023, while Air Info reports the government's non-renewal decision of 19 October 2022 — the discrepancy is left unresolved in the entry, which states only the decision and the handover.

Describes the CTSuite mechanism — mobile money top-up of any amount, CTCloud giving the operator payment and consumption data — and carries the two mobile money adoption figures (43% new mobile money users, 95% of existing users transacting more). Written by a CityTaps employee, so attributed in the entry rather than stated.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
