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 Cameroon 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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTIONABSORPTION CAPACITYACCESS TO DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SERVICESACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYAGRICULTURAL ENGINEERINGBOREHOLESCODCONCESSION AREACONCESSION AREASCONNECTIONCONSTRUCTIONCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCOST RECOVERYCOST RECOVERY MECHANISMSDRAINAGEDRAINAGE CHANNELSDRAINSDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SECTORDRINKING WATER SOURCEGROUND WATERHOUSEHOLDSHYGIENEINDIVIDUAL CONNECTIONSINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSLARGE CITIESLATRINESLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL PRIVATE OPERATORSLOCAL PRIVATE SECTORLOCAL STAKEHOLDERSNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER SUPPLYNUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH ACCESSNUMBER OF WATEROPEN DEFECATIONOPERATIONAL FACILITIESPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPITSPMPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE OPERATORPUBLIC WATERPUBLIC WATER SUPPLYPVCRIVERSRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATION ACTIVITIESSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION INVESTMENTSANITATION MONITORINGSANITATION POLICYSANITATION PRACTICESSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESSECTORAL POLICIESSEPTIC TANKSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DEVELOPMENTSERVICE PROVISIONSEWERAGESEWERAGE SYSTEMSSLUDGESTORMWATERSUPPLY WATERSUSTAINABLE SERVICESTOWNTOWNSTREATMENT PLANTURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN FACILITIESURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEUSERSUTILITIES CORPORATIONWASTEWATERWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER FACILITIESWATER LAWWATER POINTWATER POINTSWATER RESOURCESWATER SERVICEWATER SOURCEWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY COMPANYWATER SUPPLY FACILITIESWATER TARIFFWATER UTILITIESWELLS10.1596/17757
