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 Zimbabwe 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 IGOACCESS TO DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SAFE WATERALTERNATIVE APPROACHBOREHOLESBULK WATERBULK WATER SUPPLYCAPACITY BUILDINGCATCHMENTCATCHMENT COUNCILSCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCLIMATE CHANGECOMMERCIAL FARMINGCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONNECTIONCONNECTIONSCONSTRUCTIONCONSULTATION WITH CONSUMERSCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCOST RECOVERYCOVERINGDAMSDEMAND FOR SANITATIONDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSDOMESTIC WATERDOMESTIC WATER SUPPLYDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SOURCEDRINKING WATER SUPPLYENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFINANCIAL VIABILITYFOOD PRODUCTIONHANDPUMPSHIGH LEVELSHOUSEHOLDSHYGIENEHYGIENE PROMOTIONINVESTMENT COSTSINVESTMENT PLANNINGINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION DEVELOPMENTLACK OF WATERLARGE CITIESLATRINE PITSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL CAPACITYMANAGEMENT OF WATERMUNICIPAL AUTHORITIESMUNICIPAL DEPARTMENTNATIONAL UTILITYNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER AUTHORITYNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCESOPEN DEFECATIONOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYPIPED WATERPIPESPIT LATRINEPIT LATRINESPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPUBLIC HEALTHPUMPSRAW SEWAGEREGULATORY MECHANISMSRESPONSIBILITY FOR WATERREVENUE GENERATIONRIVERSRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION INVESTMENTSANITATION OPTIONSSANITATION POLICYSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DEVELOPMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSERVICE STANDARDSSEWAGE TREATMENTSEWERAGE SERVICESSPARE PARTSSUPPLY WATERSUSTAINABLE SANITATIONSUSTAINABLE SERVICESTOILETTOWNTOWNSTREATMENT PLANTSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN GROWTHURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN SANITATIONURBAN SERVICESURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBAN SEWERAGEURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SERVICESURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEUSERSUTILITIESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIESWATER AUTHORITYWATER BILLSWATER BUDGETSWATER COVERAGEWATER DEMANDWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER POINTSWATER POLLUTIONWATER PRODUCTIONWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTWATER SECTORWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCESWATER SUPPLYWELLS10.1596/17762
