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 UNICEF and WHO in over 30 countries across SSA. This CSO2 report has been produced in collaboration with the Government of Niger 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 CSO2 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 CSO2'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 SANITATIONACCESS TO SERVICESBASIC SANITATIONBOREHOLESCENTRAL GOVERNMENTSCESSPOOLSCLIMATE CHANGECONSTRUCTION OF INFRASTRUCTUREDISPOSAL SITEDRINKING WATEREFFECTIVE DEMANDEXCRETAHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLD SANITATIONHOUSEHOLDSHYGIENEHYGIENE EDUCATIONINVESTMENT COSTSINVESTMENT PLANNINGINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSLARGE TOWNSLATRINELATRINE CONSTRUCTIONLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL PRIVATE SECTORMAINTENANCE COSTSMANAGING WATER RESOURCESMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER SUPPLYNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH ACCESSOPEN DEFECATIONPERFORMANCE CONTRACTPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPIPED SEWER SYSTEMSPIT LATRINESPITSPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE COMPANIESPRIVATE OPERATORPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC UTILITYPUBLIC WATERPUBLIC WATER SUPPLYPUMPINGPUMPING SYSTEMSQUALITY STANDARDSREGULATORY AGENCYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION FACILITYSANITATION INVESTMENTSANITATION POLICYSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION PROGRAMSSANITATION PROMOTIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSERVICE CONTINUITYSERVICE DELIVERYSEWER SYSTEMSEWERAGESLUDGESLUDGE DISPOSALSMALL TOWNSSOLID WASTESTANDPIPESSTORMWATERSUPPLY WATERSURFACE RUNOFFSUSTAINABLE SERVICESTOILETTOILET BLOCKSTOWNSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN COMMUNITYURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEVACUUM TRUCKSWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTSWASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMWATER ASSOCIATIONWATER POINTWATER POINTSWATER PRODUCTIONWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICE OPERATORSWATER SOURCEWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY FACILITIESWATER SUPPLY OPERATORWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER USERSWATER UTILITIESWELLS10.1596/17767
