Editor's Notes

  • #5 Compared JMP and country dataJMP -> water: 54% to 63%, sanitation: 27% to 34%Country data -> water: 46% to 58%, sanitation: 24% to 36%.
  • #9 Change to box chartsReducing open defecation in rural areas: LICNF 12%, LICF 7%, RR 3%Increasing urban sanitation coverage: LICNF > LICF and RR
  • #10 Change to box chartsReducing open defecation in rural areas: LICNF 12%, LICF 7%, RR 3%Increasing urban sanitation coverage: LICNF > LICF and RR
  • #11 Low income non-fragile countries received more aid per capita for each unserved person: 3x LICNF and 2x RRSouth Africa – aid very small % of overall spend <5% … 95% domesticNot possible to separate past ODA to sanitation from water supply
  • #12 Regional scores. Benchmarking of service delivery pathways done in each subsector in each country Policy (Targets in PRSPs, subsector policies, defined institutional roles)Expansion and uptake; Budget (sufficient, comprehensive, identifiable); Equity (criteria for matching need with resources, participation in planning, monitoring of equity)Ingredients – that depend on each other
  • #13 Benchmarking each subsector in each country
  • #14 LICNF have the strongest sector governance
  • #17 11% to 62% according to Government figuresBuilding Service Delivery pathwaysUrban water supply: National utility Rural water supply: Unitary versus Federal systemSanitation: Inter-ministerial coordination.
  • #18 The service delivery pathways for sanitation are also notably weaker than those for water supply, Three factors warrant specific mention: First, despite wide acceptance that policy and program development in sanitation needs to be lead by a single designated government agency (e.g. eThekwini Declaration – Commitment 5) only a 1/3 of countries taking part in the CSO2 had achieved this initial step.Second, there remains considerable policy uncertainty about the countries’ position on sanitation subsidies. This leads to: Inconsistent practice in sanitation service delivery both across development agencies and between agencies and government. But, more importantly the lack of policy clarity undermines subsector investment planning. Misconception that no subsidy means no need for a public sector budget – no money for local government Third, monitoring the impact of public interventions to improve sanitation are all but absent. This monitoring is needed to understand and improve the relationship between public interventions and the quality and quantity of household uptake
  • #19 Project investment with TA to:Prime fragile state capacity for government-led service delivery – so that the sector engages in the PRSP process and accesses domestic resources when they become availableProgrammatic investment with TA for implementation support to: consolidate subsector service delivery pathwaysBudget support to: back subsectors that have completed the transition to government-led service delivery pathways
  • #20 Project investment with TA to:Prime fragile state capacity for government-led service delivery – so that the sector engages in the PRSP process and accesses domestic resources when they become availableProgrammatic investment with TA for implementation support to: consolidate subsector service delivery pathwaysBudget support to: back subsectors that have completed the transition to government-led service delivery pathways
  • #21 Project investment with TA to:Prime fragile state capacity for government-led service delivery – so that the sector engages in the PRSP process and accesses domestic resources when they become availableProgrammatic investment with TA for implementation support to: consolidate subsector service delivery pathwaysBudget support to: back subsectors that have completed the transition to government-led service delivery pathways
  • #22 WSP a different/new program -New Global Strategy: Scaling up services through knowledge, leveraging investments -Delivering results: RFs + Indicators and a performance monitoring system to track progress and results-Focused business areas
