Abstract
The Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene
(WASH) Poverty Diagnostic in Mozambique is part of a global
initiative to improve the evidence base on the linkages
between WASH, human development, and poverty. The Diagnostic
provides a detailed analysis of sector status, strengths and
weaknesses to inform the conditions needed to attain the new
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim not only for
universal access but for safely managed water and sanitation
coverage. This report summarizes three background papers of
this activity; the first containing the overall summary of
findings, a dossier of sector data, and lessons and
recommendations; then two technical reports that cover (i)
the detailed information and data on the linkages between
WASH, health and human development outcomes, and (ii) the
analysis of the main institutional barriers that exist in
the rural water subsector. The report presents updated
evidence and data using diverse analytical tools that
contribute to understand why and how WASH investments could
be coordinated with other sectors to improve human
development outcomes, such as reduced childhood stunting.
The information presented in this comprehensive report
explores water supply service quality, affordability and
availability and offers conceptual framework and
institutional diagnostic applied to the rural water sector,
where services have been lagging behind in terms of coverage
over the past decades.
