The note aims to highlight the gains and challenges of the major collaborative initiatives, focusing on where progress has been made or activities are ongoing at a strategic, thematic, and regional or country level. The collaboration is now focusing on: a) intensifying operational cooperation and joint work in additional African countries, including fragile and post-conflict countries; b) continuing to share information and to participate in capacity-building activities, with an emphasis on training in operational contexts; c) intensifying joint work in water supply, and particularly sanitation and hygiene; and, d) developing a monitoring system focused on results rather than inputs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCESS TO SAFE WATER SUPPLYACCESS TO SERVICESACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYADEQUATE SANITATIONADEQUATE WATERADEQUATE WATER SUPPLYAGRICULTURAL WATERAGRICULTURAL WATER USEBENEFICIARY COMMUNITIESBROAD RANGECAPACITY BUILDINGCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONSCOMMUNITY MANAGEMENTCONSTRUCTIONDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLYDROUGHTENGINEERINGFLUSH TOILETSFOOD SECURITYHAND WASHINGHOUSEHOLDSHYGIENEINTERNATIONAL WATERINVESTMENT PROGRAMIRRIGATIONLATRINESLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL OWNERSHIPMONITORING PROGRAMNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATIONAL WATER SECTORNATIONAL WATER SUPPLYNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTPIPELINEPIPELINESPRESSUREPUBLIC TOILETSREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTRIVER BASINRIVER BASINSRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE WATER SUPPLYSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION COMPONENTSANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION OPERATIONSSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SECTOR POLICIESSANITATION SERVICESSANITATION STRATEGYSENIOR MANAGEMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSUSTAINABLE WATERTOWNSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN CENTRESURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN SERVICESURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SECTORURBAN WATER SUPPLYUSE OF WATERUTILITIESWATER ASSOCIATIONWATER CONNECTIONSWATER GOVERNANCEWATER OPERATORSWATER PARTNERSHIPWATER POINTSWATER POLICYWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SECTOR DEVELOPMENTWATER SECTOR REFORMWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLY DEVELOPMENTWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER USEWATER UTILITIESWATER UTILITYWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/28140
