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 Sierra Leone 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 IGOABSORPTIVE CAPACITIESACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCESS TO SANITATIONADEQUATE SANITATIONADEQUATE WATERBOREHOLESCAPACITY BUILDINGCATCHMENTCATCHMENT AREASCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCIVIL SOCIETYCOLLECTION EFFICIENCYCOMMUNITY MANAGEMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY WATERCONSTRUCTIONCOST RECOVERYDECISION MAKINGDRINKING WATERENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHFREE WATERHAND WASHINGHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLD SANITATIONHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN EXCRETAHYGIENEHYGIENE EDUCATIONHYGIENE PROMOTIONHYGIENE WATERINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSIRONLATRINELOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL COUNCILSLOCAL STAKEHOLDERSMAINTENANCE OPERATIONSMANAGEMENT OF WATERMININGMINING OPERATIONSNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESOPEN DEFECATIONPIPED WATERPOOR QUALITY OF WATERPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPROVISION OF WATERPUBLIC STANDPIPESREGULATING WATER SUPPLYREGULATORY AGENCIESREHABILITATION OF WATERRESPONSIBILITY FOR WATERRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE DRINKING WATERSAFE WATERSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION INVESTMENTSANITATION POLICYSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICE DELIVERYSANITATION SERVICESSCHOOL SANITATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DEVELOPMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSSEWERAGESEWERAGE NETWORKSSEWERAGE SERVICESSEWERSSMALL TOWNSMALL TOWN SCHEMESSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE DISPOSALSPARE PARTSSUPPLY WATERSUSTAINABLE SANITATIONSUSTAINABLE SERVICESTARIFF DECISIONSTARIFF REVENUETARIFF REVENUESTOWNSURBAN AREASURBAN COMMUNITIESURBAN HOUSEHOLDSURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SECTORURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEURBAN WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMSURBANIZATIONUSERSUTILITIESVIP LATRINESVOLUME OF WATERWASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIESWASTE WATERWASTE WATER MANAGEMENTWATER COMPANYWATER COVERAGEWATER FACILITIESWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER LAWWATER MANAGEMENTWATER POLICYWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY MONITORINGWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SOURCESWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY FACILITIESWATER SUPPLY OPERATORSWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER USEWELLS10.1596/17760
