Summary: | This briefing note provides a rapid scan
of partnership initiatives by the World Bank, the African
Development Bank (AfDB) and the Water and Sanitation Program
(WSP) to improve the state of water and sanitation services
in Africa. The note aims to highlight the gains and
challenges of the major collaborative initiatives, focusing
on where progress has been made or activities are ongoing at
a strategic, thematic, and regional or country level. The
collaboration is now focusing on: a) intensifying
operational cooperation and joint work in additional African
countries, including fragile and post-conflict countries; b)
continuing to share information and to participate in
capacity-building activities, with an emphasis on training
in operational contexts; c) intensifying joint work in water
supply, and particularly sanitation and hygiene; and, d)
developing a monitoring system focused on results rather
than inputs. |
