Abstract
The review of public expenditure in the
sector of potable water and sanitation in rural and semi
urban areas aims at supporting the Government of Mali. The
review highlighted many sector accomplishments and
challenges such as: (i) achieving objectives of the
government of passing from 50 percent of access to potable
water to 82 percent is difficult but probable; (ii) budget
allocations to the sector in real terms increase for more
than twice during the last 6 years; (iii) expenditure's
increase in the sector has translate into an increase of
facilities carried out; (iv) development of the sector is
limited by a weak budgetary performance and not by a lack of
financing; (v) the weakness of operating budgets hampers the
sector's effectiveness; (vi) the traditional systems of
facilities management have to be absolutely reconsidered on
the basis of lesson learned and the new systems developed
with the collaboration of stakeholders; (vii) the sector is
well engaged in the approach-program with regard to
harmonization and alignment in accordance with the
declaration of Paris; (viii) sanitation is neglected. The
coverage in family latrines is weak; and (ix) mobilization
of resources beyond the state is essential to keep pace with
the sector's growth.
