Summary: | The African Ministers' Council on
Water (AMCOW) commissioned the production of a second round
of Country Status Overviews (CSOs) to better understands
what underpins progress in water supply and sanitation and
what its member governments can do to accelerate that
progress across countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). AMCOW
delegated this task to the World Bank's Water and
Sanitation Program and the African Development Bank who are
implementing it in close partnership with UNICEF and WHO in
over 30 countries across SSA. This CSO2 report has been
produced in collaboration with the Government of Niger and
other stakeholders during 2009-10. The analysis aims to help
countries assess their own service delivery pathways for
turning finance into water supply and sanitation services in
each of four subsectors: rural and urban water supply, and
rural and urban sanitation and hygiene. The CSO2 analysis
has three main components: a review of past coverage; a
costing model to assess the adequacy of future investments;
and a scorecard which allows diagnosis of particular
bottlenecks along the service delivery pathway. The
CSO2's contribution is to answer not only whether past
trends and future finance are sufficient to meet sector
targets, but what specific issues need to be addressed to
ensure finance is effectively turned into accelerated
coverage in water supply and sanitation. In this spirit,
specific priority actions have been identified through
consultation. A synthesis report, available separately,
presents best practice and shared learning to help realize
these priority actions. |
