Large disparities in access remain between different socio-economic groups
The richest in sub-Saharan Africa are almost five times more likely to use improved sanitation than the poorest
The richest in sub-Saharan Africa are over two times more likely to use an improved drinking water source than the poorest

Why are countries off-track?
Insufficient Political Prioritization
Insufficient national investment + poor aid targeting
Weak country sector capacity
Lack of accountability for commitments
Weak data analysis, communications

What is Sanitation and Water for All?
Vision: universal, sustainable sanitation and water
Alliance of like-minded organizations – not an organization in itself. Works though members.
Growing membership
Governments
Donors
Civil Society
Development Banks
Regional Bodies, e.g. AMCOW, EUWI

Three Key SWA Activities :
Support Country Processes

Improve technical assistance
Catalytic support for actionable frameworks

Forum for global dialogue on water
Annual High Level Meeting
Improved Information for Decision-making
JMP biennial report on coverage
GLAAS annual global report on drivers & constraints to sector progress (financial, human, enabling environment)

Aid for health and education has outpaced aid for WSS
WASH aid increased between 2000 and 2008: by over 150% to Africa and over 50% globally
Over the same period, WASH aid reduced as a % of overall aid (from approx 6.3% to 4.7%)

Poor Targeting to Low-Income Countries
Only 42% of aid targeted to LICs
Top 12 priority recipients receive 50% of WASH aid

Basic Systems are not Targeted by Water Sector Aid
Aid flows for basic water and sanitation remain about US$ 1.1 bn
ODA for basic services declined from 27% to 16% over the last five years
Aid flows for large systems increased from US$ 2.6 to US$ 4.3 bn from 2000 to 2008

Main GLAAS Messages:
Greater political commitment for WSS needed by donors and dev. countries
Target resources better to reach WSS MDG Target
Strengthen national systems to plan, implement + monitor delivery of services
Stronger partnerships to develop and implement national WSS plans

TargetingProper aid targeting: need to choose
