Introduction sanitation

6. Until 1995 the national government had been responsible
for centrally planning and implementing water and
sanitation projects. (Ministry of Public Works.)
in 1995, a Ministry of Water Resources was created
In 1999 the government adopted a National Water
Resources Management Policy,
the establishment of a Water Resources Development
Fund (2002) and a Water Sector Development Program.
(water supply and sewerage development program)
History and recent developments

7. Plan for Accelerated Sustained Development and to End
Poverty (PADEP), (2005-2010)
aimed at increasing access to an improved water source to
84% and access to improved sanitation to 80% by 2010.
These ambitious targets go well beyond the water and
sanitation targets of the Millennium Development Goals,
which aim at halving the share of people without access by
2015.

an improved water supply.
The water and sanitation crisis

14. Challenges
Financing of the water and sanitation sector
Population growth
neglect of rural areas
Urbanization
Climatic change : An increased prevalence of extreme
weather events and climate-related natural disasters could result
in an increased loss of functioning drinking water and sanitary
facility infrastructures

15.  insufficient cost recovery for proper operation and
maintenance
 different policies and procedures used by various donors
 industrialization
