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 United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization
(WHO) in over 30 countries across SSA. This second CSO
report has been produced in collaboration with the
Government of the Central African Republic 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 second CSO
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 second CSO'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.
