Abstract
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 (WSS)
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 Sierra
Leone 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.
