The main findings were synthesized in a flagship report titled Africa's Infrastructure: a time for transformation, published in November 2009. Meant for policy makers, that report necessarily focused on the high-level conclusions. It attracted widespread media coverage feeding directly into discussions at the 2009 African Union Commission Heads of State Summit on Infrastructure. Although the flagship report served a valuable role in highlighting the main findings of the project, it could not do full justice to the richness of the data collected and technical analysis undertaken. There was clearly a need to make this more detailed material available to a wider audience of infrastructure practitioners. Hence the idea of producing four technical monographs, such as this one, to provide detailed results on each of the major infrastructure sectors, information and communication technologies (ICT), power, transport, and water, as companions to the flagship report. These technical volumes are intended as reference books on each of the infrastructure sectors. They cover all aspects of the AICD project relevant to each sector, including sector performance, gaps in financing and efficiency, and estimates of the need for additional spending on investment, operations, and maintenance. Each volume also comes with a detailed data appendix, providing easy access to all the relevant infrastructure indicators at the country level, which is a resource in and of itself.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCESS TO SANITATIONACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYADEQUATE SANITATIONADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYAFFORDABILITY OF WATERAVAILABILITY OF WATERBLOCK TARIFFBLOCK TARIFF STRUCTUREBLOCK TARIFFSBOREHOLESBROAD RANGEBULK WATERCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCONCESSION CONTRACTCONNECTION COSTCONSTRUCTIONCOST RECOVERYCOVERINGCUBIC METERCUBIC METERSDEMAND MANAGEMENTDISTRIBUTION NETWORKSDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDOMESTIC TARIFFSDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER COVERAGEFLUSH TOILETFLUSH TOILETSGLOBAL WATER SUPPLYHAND PUMPSHOUSE CONNECTIONHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLDSIRRIGATIONLARGE CITIESLOW WATERMETERINGMINERALSNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER COMPANYNATURAL RESOURCESNONREVENUE WATEROPEN DEFECATIONOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYOPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEOPERATORSPERFORMANCE CONTRACTPERFORMANCE CONTRACTSPERFORMANCE DATAPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPIPED WATERPIT LATRINEPIT LATRINESPITSPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRESSUREPRIVATE PARTICIPATIONPROVISION OF WATERPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC STANDPOSTSPUBLIC TAPQUALITY OF SERVICEQUALITY OF WATERQUALITY OF WATER SUPPLYRAINWATERREGULATORY AGENCIESREGULATORY AGENCYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSRESIDENTIAL CONSUMERSRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE SANITATIONSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION ASSESSMENTSANITATION AUTHORITYSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION MARKETSANITATION OPTIONSSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESSANITATION TARIFFSSANITATION TAXSANITATION UTILITIESSANITATION WATERSEPTIC TANKSEPTIC TANKSSERVICE CONTINUITYSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSEWAGE DISPOSALSEWERAGESEWERAGE AUTHORITYSEWERAGE COMPANYSEWERAGE NETWORKSEWERAGE SYSTEMSSOURCES OF WATERSTAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENTSUPPLY WATERSURFACE SOURCESSURFACE WATERTARIFF ADJUSTMENTTARIFF STRUCTURETOILET FACILITIESURBAN AREASURBAN HOUSEHOLDSURBAN RESIDENTSURBAN UTILITIESURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SECTORURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER UTILITIESURBANIZATIONUSER CHARGESUSERSUTILITIES CORPORATIONUTILITY EFFICIENCYVIP LATRINESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWATER AVAILABILITYWATER BILLSWATER BOARDWATER COMPANYWATER CONNECTIONWATER CONNECTIONSWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER COVERAGEWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER LOSSESWATER MARKETWATER MARKETSWATER POINTSWATER PRODUCTIONWATER QUALITYWATER SANITATIONWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICE PROVISIONWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCESWATER STANDPOSTSWATER SUPPLYWATER TABLEWATER TANKERSWATER TARIFFSWATER UTILITIESWATER VENDORSWELLSWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-8457-2
