Can Africa Afford to Miss the Sanitation MDG Target?
An overview of the hygiene and sanitation status in 32 African countries
Year published: 2008
The purpose of this decision-making aid is to provide practical advice and recommendations for managing toilet blocks situated in public places. It is primarily aimed at local decision-makers in developing countries and at their partners (projec planners and managers).
Effective financing for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is essential to accelerate and sustain services that could ultimately save two million lives per year. Inadequate monitoring and limited availability of financial data impede the ability of countries to assess progress and improve performance. An internationally agreed standard methodology for tracking financial flows to WASH at the national level does not exist at present. This working paper argues that developing such a common methodology is required and feasible.
