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 CSO2 report has been produced in collaboration with the Government of Benin 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 IGOABSORPTIONABSORPTION CAPACITYACCESS TO DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SANITATIONACCESS TO SANITATION FACILITIESACCESS TO SERVICESACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYBASIC SANITATIONBILATERAL AIDCENTRAL GOVERNMENTSCIVIL SOCIETYCONNECTION FEEDEVELOPMENT OF WATER SUPPLYDRINKING WATERELECTRICITYENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESEXCRETAFINANCIAL VIABILITYFLUSH LATRINESGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER TABLEHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONHOUSEHOLDSHYGIENEHYGIENE EDUCATIONINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERINVESTMENT PLANNINGINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSLARGE TOWNSLARGE URBAN CENTERSLATRINELATRINE CONSTRUCTIONLATRINESMAINTENANCE OPERATIONSMAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTSMANAGEMENT OF WATERMANAGEMENT OF WATER SUPPLYMANAGING WATER SUPPLYMUNICIPAL SERVICESNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER COMPANYNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATIONAL WATER SUPPLYNUMBER OF CONNECTIONSNUMBER OF WATEROPEN DEFECATIONPOPULATION DENSITYPREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCEPRIVATE OPERATORSPUBLIC LATRINESPUMPINGPUMPING STATIONSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESPONSIBILITY FOR WATERRESPONSIBILITY FOR WATER SUPPLYRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION ACTIVITIESSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION INVESTMENTSANITATION MASTER PLANSSANITATION POLICYSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION PROGRAMSSANITATION PROMOTIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSANITATION STRATEGYSEPTIC TANKSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DEVELOPMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSSEWER SYSTEMSEWERAGESEWERAGE SERVICESLUDGESLUDGE DISPOSALSMALL TOWNSSPARE PARTSSTORMWATERSUPPLY WATERSUSTAINABLE SERVICESTARIFF STRUCTURETOWNTOWN CENTERTREATMENT PLANTURBAN AREASURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEUSERSUTILITIESWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGYWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTSWATER POINTWATER POINTSWATER POLICYWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER SYSTEMSWATER TARIFF10.1596/17763
