WaterAid in Mali's 2010-2015 Country Strategy aims to support over 415,000 vulnerable people in 23 local governments to gain access to safe water and adequate sanitation. The strategy focuses on new approaches like Community Led Total Sanitation, equity and inclusion, local governance, and water resource management. It also aims to strengthen sector capacity, promote sector policies, and integrate water and sanitation into other sectors like health and education. WaterAid will work with local partners and governments to implement projects targeting the most marginalized communities and track progress through strengthened monitoring and evaluation.

The document discusses challenges and tools for realizing human rights to water and sanitation. It outlines implementation challenges including inadequate financing, outdated infrastructure, weak governance and limited capacity. It then presents five case studies showing how tools like mapping access, workshops to improve sanitation, cost-benefit analyses, empowering women in management, and creating independent regulatory bodies have helped address these challenges and advance rights in locations like Nairobi, Kuala Lumpur, Nigeria and Portugal. The key lessons are that economic evidence, advocacy, capacity building and political will for independent regulation can help creation and replication of successful tools.
The document discusses the need for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in sanitation in India. It notes that there are large gaps in demand and supply of sanitation infrastructure and services. Existing government policies and programs have faced challenges in implementation including poor awareness, institutional issues, and lack of integrated city-wide approaches. PPPs can help address these issues by de-politicizing user charges, allocating risks smartly, managing contingent liabilities, and building institutional capacities. Successful PPPs require commercial viability, political will to privatize, defining clear roles for public and private stakeholders, and end-user participation. Case studies of PPPs in Senegal, Argentina, and Morocco show some successes in
marginalised communities water sanitation equity reportMeab Mdimi
This document summarizes Tanzania's second annual report on equity in water and sanitation. It finds that while budgets for urban and rural water supply are equitable, access remains unequal. Rural residents are less satisfied with water services and schools lack adequate sanitation. Over half of new rural water projects target relatively well-served communities. Poorer households have less access to piped water and pay a greater portion of their income for water. The report recommends prioritizing underserved areas, increasing transparency, supporting equitable local government planning, and ensuring all voices are represented in water resource management.

The document discusses challenges around water governance and access to water and sanitation services in the SADC region and Malawi specifically. It notes that only four SADC countries have over 90% access to safe drinking water, while three others have below 50% access. In Malawi, 25% of rural communities and 18.1% of schools lack safe water supplies. Political power influences the inequitable distribution of water sources in Malawi. Moving forward will require greater involvement of organizations like the World Bank and UNICEF to push governments to improve access and reform water governance.
This document provides an overview and introduction to a quality assurance handbook for higher education in East Africa. It discusses the establishment of a regional quality assurance system through IUCEA to harmonize higher education and support regional integration. A consultative process was used to develop guidelines and standards for quality assurance. Volumes 1 and 2 of the handbook have been published and used to conduct self-assessments and external evaluations at 45 universities. Volumes 3 and 4 provide guidance on institutional self-assessment and implementing a quality assurance system. Training was provided to staff from universities and quality assurance bodies on using the handbook to develop expertise in the region. The handbook is intended to help transform East Africa into a common higher education area.

This document outlines a citizen engagement initiative for water sector reforms in Bauchi State, Nigeria. The initiative has two main objectives: 1) to increase awareness and build support for water sector reforms among stakeholders and 2) to promote positive water management and conservation practices. Key players that could support the reforms include the Governor, water commissioners, utility staff, traditional leaders, and legislators. The preferred method of sharing information is radio, as it reaches the widest audience. Measuring the success of the initiative will involve assessing increased awareness of reforms, improved understanding of water issues, establishment of public participation, and growth in positive water management practices. An M&E specialist will monitor these outcomes.

Working together with the Lions Club of London Kingsbury, Water Aid aims to provide access to safe water and sanitation for the world's poorest communities. Children in these communities often walk miles each day to fetch water for basic needs like drinking, cooking, and washing. Donating funds to Water Aid can help change lives by supporting projects like building boreholes and latrines, giving communities free-flowing water and sanitation facilities. Clean water is essential but one in eight people globally currently lack access, so regular donations as small as £2 per month can help millions of lives.

WaterAid's aid project in Mali provides water, sanitation, and hygiene support to communities through several approaches:
1) In urban areas, communal tapstands are established and linked to main water supplies, with community members paying small fees for maintenance.
2) In rural areas, hand-dug wells are deepened, protected, and fitted with handpumps or buckets to ensure water quality.
3) Sanitation schemes include household latrines and school blocks, while hygiene education through soapmaking and handwashing promotes hygiene.
4) Revolving credit enables women to buy water carrying equipment. The project aims to help the most vulnerable groups including women, elderly,
Globalization both helps and hinders development through multinational companies operating in multiple countries. Coca-Cola operates in over 300 countries and sells over 400 brands, employing 71,000 people worldwide. Multinationals benefit from lower labor, transportation, and production costs in less developed countries. However, they are also criticized for relaxing regulations regarding workers' rights and the environment. One case study examines how Coca-Cola invests in local communities through jobs, suppliers, and tax revenues, generating a positive economic impact.
Nevado Del Ruiz volcano in Colombia erupted in 1985, sending ash 30km into the air and melting glaciers which caused deadly lahars. The lahars flowed at 40mph, reached 50m wide, and killed 23,000 people as they destroyed the town of Armero. The hazard was not properly managed as scientists warned of the risk of lahars but officials failed to evacuate areas despite continuing volcanic activity in the months before the eruption.

Dependency theory posits that peripheral, less developed nations are dependent on core countries for their economic development, which hinders their ability to develop and benefits core nations. It was developed by Raul Prebisch in response to global disparities and argues that the structure of the world economy favors core countries over peripheral ones. The theory is illustrated through Haiti's history as a peripheral nation dependent on France during colonial rule, which left it impoverished despite producing valuable exports.
This document provides an overview of sanitation issues around the world and in India specifically. Some key points:
- Globally, 61% of people had access to basic sanitation in 2008, while 40% lacked access to improved sanitation facilities. Inadequate sanitation increases disease incidence.
- In rural India, open defecation is common and poses health risks. Diarrhea is a major killer of children under 5. Lack of sanitation also impacts education and economic productivity.
- Urban India faces challenges of sanitation access in slums and safe disposal of human waste. Programs like Nirmal Shahar Puraskar aim to recognize best practices in urban sanitation.
Only 3% of the world's water is fresh water, which is found as surface water, in rivers underground, frozen in glaciers and ice caps, or as groundwater. The water cycle ensures the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Globally, an estimated 69% of fresh water is used for agriculture, 22% for industry, 8% for domestic purposes, and a very small percentage for recreation. Water is treated and stored before being distributed to homes and buildings through a network of pipes and storage systems.
The document discusses water distribution systems and sanitary systems. It describes the main components of water distribution systems including pipes, valves, fittings and motors. It also discusses the components of sanitary systems such as traps, pipes, fittings and different plumbing systems. Plumbing systems discussed include single stack, fully ventilated stack, one pipe and dual pipe systems.

The document summarizes the activities and impact of a project to rehabilitate drinking water sources in communities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan after flooding in 2010. Over 2,000 dug wells were rehabilitated with community involvement, and hygiene promotion activities were conducted. This resulted in reductions in waterborne diseases and healthcare expenditures. Water quality testing showed improvements, and hygiene practices like handwashing and SODIS increased. Communities were satisfied with the intervention and maintenance of clean drinking water sources.
Together we will continue to make a difference to our communities, staff, volunteers, community leaders, and members. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the IRSP team for their commitment to their work. They are the driving force of IRSP’s efforts to overcome challenges to effectively implement our projects in difficult terrains and circumstances and to achieve the targets.

The document summarizes a presentation on challenges and lessons from water sector reforms and devolution in Kenya. It discusses achievements of the reforms in improving water access, as well as ongoing challenges around governance, non-compliance, and balancing water demands. Key lessons are the need for uniform service standards, protecting revenue to invest in water infrastructure, and inter-county collaboration on shared water resources. Questions from attendees focused on issues like water pollution, water quality standards, realizing the right to water, and resolving disputes between county governments and water boards over shared resources.
Under the leadership of the DNA/MINEA, the government is engaged in an ongoing process to develop the PNAASR, using the lessons learned from the Water for All Program and other activities in the sector, as well as national programs and successful projects from the region and the world.
The design process of PNAASR took place during a period of three years 2012 - 2015, co-funded by the GoA and the African Development Bank.
Cowater International, Development Workshop Angola, in partnership with Burnside, was contracted to assist in the development of the PNAASR.
This document proposes a microfinancing framework to improve access to rural water and sanitation services in Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, many rural communities lack start-up capital needed for water and sanitation infrastructure. The framework involves rotating savings and credit associations, community water committees, village banks, and government support. Together these stakeholders could establish revolving loan programs to fund infrastructure development and maintenance in a sustainable, community-owned manner. The goal is to increase equitable access to safe water and sanitation through cooperative microfinancing models while sharing costs and benefits between communities and governments.

1) Ghana is working towards establishing a Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) for its water sector by 2011 to improve coordination between agencies and donors.
2) Key activities in the SWAp roadmap include developing a sector strategic development plan, common monitoring and evaluation systems, and aligning donor support with government priorities and procedures.
3) Challenges include ensuring government and donor commitment over the long time period needed and establishing sustainable funding mechanisms, but developing the sector strategic plan could help mobilize funds and provide long-term direction.
Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in MaliIRC
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.

2) It recognizes the importance of user participation, appropriate technology, private sector involvement, environmental protection, and emergency preparedness.
3) The objectives are to increase coverage of safe drinking water in rural and urban areas, improve sanitation access and habits, and ensure quality water standards.
Policy Briefing - Sanitation Research Symposium, Kenya (April 2015)Edward K.R. Ikiugu
The document summarizes a sanitation research symposium held in Kenya in April 2015. It discusses the key topics and presentations from each session of the symposium. The first session provided an overview of national and county WASH targets and challenges in Kenya. The second session discussed challenges in meeting post-2015 goals related to hygiene behavior change, universal access, and sanitation provision beyond households. The third session emphasized the role of research in improving the sanitation sector and identified priorities such as menstrual hygiene. Presentations also explored how to focus resources on increasing access for marginalized groups and monitoring country progress.
George Muruka describes the main steps of the action-research and what support SanFin partners have received. The presentation takes lessons in terms of the type of support needed by MFI so that they can deliver loans for sanitation. Finally, G. Muruka looks at the wider context of the East Africa region, highlighting the potential size of the sanitation microfinance markets (considering the need for accessing improved sanitation in the region). G. Muruka considers potential actions from sanitation practitioners which could make the sector more attractive to microfinance institutions.

3) The policy covers both rural and urban areas, with objectives including increasing rural water coverage, ensuring sanitation facilities in all households, and improving water quality.
The document provides an overview of the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group's (CSBAG) activities and advocacy efforts in 2012. Some key highlights include:
- CSBAG generated alternative budget proposals for key sectors like agriculture, education, health, and presented them to parliamentary committees.
- They held pre-budget and post-budget dialogues bringing together over 150 stakeholders to discuss making the national budget more pro-poor and gender sensitive.
- An extensive media campaign was conducted to publicize CSBAG's analysis of the budget speech and priority issues that needed addressing in key sectors. This included radio and TV talk shows.
- Capacity building efforts reached over 80 community monitors and 103 CSO members to
The document describes the journey of the River Tees from its source in the Pennines to its mouth in the North Sea. It discusses the landforms and processes along the upper, middle, and lower courses of the river. In the upper course, erosion is the main process and landforms include High Force waterfall and gorge formed by the erosion of softer rock from under hard cap rock. Meanders, ox-bow lakes, and levées are formed in the middle to lower courses as erosion gives way to deposition. The river's estuary at its mouth was formed by rising sea levels after the Ice Age.
Here are the key periglacial processes likely occurring around the glacier shown in Figure 2:
- Frost shattering of rock producing scree slopes at the base of valley sides due to repeated freezing and thawing.
- Solifluction occurring on valley sides within the active layer, transporting fine material downslope and leaving lobes and terraces.
- Nivation occurring in hollows beneath snowpatches on north-facing slopes, deepening the hollows through frost action and meltwater erosion.
- Patterned ground such as stone stripes forming in better drained areas subjected to freeze-thaw cycles.
- Fluvial erosion by meltwater streams flowing from the glacier, causing erosion and leaving braided
Here is a 4 mark labelled sketch of an esker:
[SKETCH OF AN ESKER]:
- Sinuous ridge
- Coarse gravel and sand
- Stratified layers
- 5-20m high
Eskers form through the process of subglacial deposition:
Meltwater flows through tunnels beneath the glacier. As it flows, it deposits material in the tunnel. Coarser material is deposited first, creating layers. As the glacier melts away, it leaves behind the sinuous ridge of stratified sand and gravel - the esker. The tunnel walls confined the meltwater flow and pressure, allowing transport and deposition of material.
This document discusses different types of glacial landforms formed by the deposition of debris (moraine) transported and deposited by glaciers. It describes erratics as large rocks transported far from their source, moraines as ridges of glacial debris including terminal, lateral, and recessional moraines, and drumlins as streamlined hills that indicate the direction of past ice flow. Drumlins are proposed to form through subglacial deformation as the glacier becomes overloaded with debris and moulds it into characteristic elongated shapes aligned with ice movement.
The document lists various topics related to artworks and locations including Constable painting a ploughing scene in Suffolk, Aboriginal art and maps of Australia, the Lake District region, haymaking on the Thames river, New York City, JMW Turner's paintings of the Lake District, Wordsworth, rural Wales, and advertisements.
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks in place due to exposure to weather and other environmental factors like temperature changes, water, plant roots, and human activity. Erosion is a broader term that includes both the breakdown and removal of rocks by forces like moving ice sheets or flowing water. When looking at landforms like valleys, you can see evidence of both weathering, which created smaller rock fragments, and erosion, which transported material away, leaving the characteristic valley shape.
During ice ages, large parts of northern Europe including Scotland were covered in deep ice. Sea levels were lower because less water flowed into oceans as snow and ice built up on land. The last major cold period was the Pleistocene Ice Age, which started 1.8 million years ago and ended around 10,000 years ago. Natural causes of climate change include variations in Earth's orbit and axis, volcanic eruptions, and changes in solar activity, which can cause the climate to become colder or warmer over both short and long time scales.
A glacier forms over many years in places where snow falls but does not melt, accumulating in layers that compress into ice. As glaciers move into warmer areas, melting occurs at the glacier's snout or front. Glaciers advance when accumulation exceeds melting and retreat when melting exceeds accumulation. Factors influencing this balance include climate cycles, volcanic eruptions, and human-caused global warming, which is currently causing many glaciers to retreat rapidly.
The document discusses flood management of the River Tees in England. It describes how the river's basin and flow patterns make it prone to flash flooding. It has been managed through various methods: reservoirs were built starting in the late 19th century to control water levels and flooding. More recently, a barrage was constructed to reduce tidal flooding while improving the environment and recreation. Flood plain zoning and defending towns like Yarm also aim to reduce flooding impacts while allowing natural floods. Combined, these strategies provide water resources while mitigating risks from the river's variable flow.
The document is a summary of the East Cornwall Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). It describes the flood risks in the area and sets out policies and actions to manage those risks over the next century. The CFMP divides the catchment into areas with similar flood risk characteristics called policy units. For each unit it identifies one of six policies to reduce, accept, or take advantage of flood risk. The actions proposed include flood storage schemes, maintaining existing flood defenses, surface water management plans, and working with landowners to reduce runoff. The goal is to implement the policies through cooperation with local authorities and other groups.
Heavy rainfall in August 2004 caused flash flooding in the village of Boscastle in Cornwall, damaging homes and businesses. The physical causes were intense rainfall over a short period which the small rivers could not cope with, exacerbated by steep slopes and saturated ground. Human factors included development in a narrow floodplain and an increased summer population. The effects included economic losses, property damage, infrastructure disruption and mental trauma for residents from the devastation. While Boscastle has always been at flood risk, some experts believe climate change may be increasing the potential for extreme storms.
The document provides a timeline of events during the Boscastle flood of August 2004 in Cornwall, UK. Over the course of a few hours, intense rainfall caused severe flooding that trapped many people in buildings. Emergency services launched a major rescue operation that involved helicopters airlifting over 150 people to safety. The flooding caused widespread damage, but there were no reported casualties. Lessons were learned about having plans and resources in place to respond quickly and safely to changing conditions during major flooding events.
This document summarizes a history of flash flooding events in Boscastle, Cornwall and surrounding areas in the UK dating back to the 18th century. It notes several major flooding events that caused significant damage, including in 1827, 1847, 1952 and most recently in 2004 when over 1,000 residents and visitors were affected in Boscastle. The 2004 flooding was described as the largest peacetime rescue in British history, with 58 properties flooded and thousands of pounds needed for infrastructure repairs. While views on climate change conflict, the document acknowledges climate is changing and instances of severe storms and floods are expected to increase.
1) Climate observations in the UK show warming since 1960, with greater warming in summer than winter. There have also been increases in warm days/nights and decreases in cool days/nights. Human influence has increased the likelihood of warm summers.
2) Climate projections for the UK show temperature increases of up to 3C in the south and 2.5C further north by 2100 under a mid-range emissions scenario. Precipitation is projected to increase up to 10% across most of the UK, though some southern areas could see decreases of up to 5%.
3) Climate impacts projections include the potential for declining crop yields in southern UK but increases in northern areas. The UK is expected to
This document provides an overview of coastal processes and landforms along the Humberside and Lincolnshire coastline in the UK. It describes how the coastline has changed over time, from the last ice age until present day, noting that rising sea levels flooded the area around 6000 years ago and created new coastal landforms like Holderness. The coastline consists of interconnected coastal areas from Flamborough Head to Gibraltar Point that function as a single coastal system influenced by tidal flows, waves, and sediment movement. Future sea level rise poses risks to the coastline from increased flooding and erosion. The document aims to provide context to help coastal managers make informed decisions that work with natural coastal processes.
1) The UK coastline has been divided into coastal cells and sub-cells to simplify understanding coastal processes. The East Riding coastline is designated as sub-cell 2a.
2) Cliff erosion along the East Riding coast is complex and dynamic, driven by random wave and tidal forces. Erosion produces sediment that is sorted and transported south by these coastal processes. Beach levels fluctuate in response, impacting erosion rates.
3) Erosion occurs in four zones - the cliff face, nearshore beach, offshore clay face, and protected offshore seabed. Cliff erosion averages 1.7m/year while offshore erosion likely matches this rate, totaling around 3 million cubic meters of erosion
Urban climates differ from rural climates due to factors like increased surface area from buildings absorbing heat, lack of vegetation and evapotranspiration, and additional heat from human activities. This can lead to urban heat islands where temperatures are warmer in cities. While some effects are negative like increased heat stress, others are positive like reduced energy demands. Urban climatologists first systematically studied these effects in the 19th century, and interest has grown with increasing urbanization globally. Mitigation strategies aim to reduce heat absorption and increase shading and evaporation to minimize urban warming.
Robert Wilby examines the urban heat island effect and air quality in London, UK. London's central areas can be several degrees warmer than surrounding rural areas due to increased surface and air temperatures from urban development (the heat island effect). This effect is most pronounced at night and under light wind conditions. While air pollution levels have declined overall in the UK since the 1990s, some parts of London still exceed air quality standards, especially for nitrogen dioxide and particulate levels from vehicle emissions. Future projections estimate more frequent and severe heat waves could increase heat-related mortality, and changes in wind patterns may shift the location of the peak heat island effect within London.
The document discusses microclimates, specifically focusing on upland regions, coastal regions, and forests. It provides details on how factors like elevation, proximity to bodies of water, and vegetation influence temperature, precipitation, wind, and other climate variables at small, localized scales compared to broader regional climates. Examples are given comparing the climates of locations in Devon, England to illustrate temperature, rainfall, and sunshine differences between an upland site and two coastal sites only 20 miles apart.

Executive summary
With 30 out of 100 people without access
to safe water and 76 out of 100 without
adequate sanitation, Mali is not on track to
meet its MDG targets of 80 and 60%
respectively for water and sanitation by
2015.
Upon implementation of WaterAid in Mali’s
2006-2010 Country strategy paper, over
360 000 vulnerable people were provided
with access to safe water and adequate
sanitation services. The 2010-2015
Country Strategy aims to support a further
415. 000 people in 23 Local Governments
to have access to these basis services.
The Country Programme has shifted and
focused on new approaches including,
Community Led Total Sanitation –CLTS,
Equity and Inclusion –E&I, Local
Governance and Water Resources
Management –WRM.
Though a great deal of achievements
were recorded, some challenges exist
around documentation, monitoring and
evaluation.
« WaterAid is inclusive in all that we do, setting a
priority on working with the most marginalised
people and other marginalised groups. We believe
that people should have a strong influence in decisions that affect their lives and that communities
should be active in the planning and the implementation of work for it to be successful. The
needs and voices of the communities we work
with, our staff, volunteers, partners and stakeholders, shape our policy and practices»
The 2010-2015 Country Strategy is
expected to focus on the above
highlighted areas, addressing issues such
as sustainability, learning, rights of
access to water and sanitation and talent
management.
The social and political environment in
Mali provides a conducive framework to
implement our new Country Strategy.
However, the sector faces a number of
challenges, including the ineffectiveness
of the rights to water and adequate
sanitation to citizens, inadequate
mainstreaming of E&I in development
programmes , inadequacy of funding and
dependency towards foreign aid,
ineffective transfer of resources to Local
Governments and finally, the limited skills Woman collecting water at a traditional well, Simba

To address the above challenges, the Mali
country programme has developed the
following objectives which align with the
global aims: (i) enable vulnerable people to
claim their rights to water and sanitation; (ii)
develop the sector capacity; (iii) promote
sector policies and practices in other sectors
such as health and education.
The partners of WaterAid in Mali will
continue to be seven local implementing
NGOs, five Civil Society Organisations and
23 Local Governments in five regions of the
country, but will also include the health and
education departments. 6.2 billion XoF is
the total
estimated budget over the next five
years. The implementation of the new
Country Strategy will require the
development of human resources. As a
result, employment will increase from 18
to 21 staff, including new skills.
Focus will be placed on supporting
stakeholders to develop an efficient
Monitoring and Evaluation system
implemented by the local Technical
Units.
GAS and PROMISE will be the internal
management tools to manage and
monitor financial and programme work.
In addition to the regular partner
monitoring, quarterly joint visits will be
organised to involve various players.
Midterm reviews and a final evaluation are
also planned.
WaterAid promotes accountability to everyone
involved in our work. We believe that
organisations providing water and sanitation,
including government, donors and service
providers, should be accountable, responsive
and transparent. We aim to set the highest
standards of professionalism and expertise in
everything that we do to ensure that our work
is responsive, effective, transparent and
sustainable.

Introduction and background to
the Country Programme
The Mid Term Review (MTR) of the 20062011 Country Strategy has highlighted the
need for the following: support vulnerable
people to claim their rights to safe water and
sanitation; develop sector capacity and
promote the water and sanitation policies
and practices towards other sectors
including health and education.

Strategy.
ommunityCommunity-Led Total Sanitation - CLTS
WaterAid in Mali learnt in implementing
CLTS that, to achieve the expected change,
there is an absolute need to customise/
contextualise the approach and consider
the social and cultural barriers.
Rights/Equity & Inclusion
Policies exist but effectiveness of the rights
to WASH remains a big issue. To promote
this right, we need to understand the social
and cultural context which thwarts its
implementation. So, strategic partnerships
are needed with organisations with
expertise on rights and local Disabled
People’s Associations.
Sustainability
Ownership of the Framework by staff and
partners is the pre condition for its effective
implementation. To sustain our work, an
exit strategy and sustainability mechanisms
are needed.

Financing
Overall, the percentage of national budget
allocated to the sector is low at 4% and
0.433% respectively for water and
sanitation (Finance Act 2009). But
compared to 2007 figures of 2.2% and
0.22% for water and sanitation, this is
commendable progress.

Sector Coordination
The development and availability of the PROSEA –Water and Sanitation document is a
great progress and success. However, sector coordination remains a donor-driven
approach. Some opportunities to improve sector coordination include the sector review
and the CPS (Water and Sanitation planning Unit) created in 2000.
Institutional capacities and arrangements
The recent institutional reform of the water
sector has led to the creation of two separate
entities to develop and manage water in
urban settings. These are « SOMAGEP » for
safe water supply and « SOMAPEP » in charge
of managing the assets.
The rural water supply remains under the
remit of DNH - National Water Directorate.

Monitoring and evaluation
Sector analysis
Data collection and analysis are the challenges in sector Monitoring. Indeed, despite the
availability of a data base (SYGMA), information on water is yet to be reliable. On
sanitation, an operational information system is missing. That’s why WaterAid in Mali has
engaged to support the sector to get trustworthy data which will feed SYGMA as well as
the sanitation information system.

In terms of the private sector, the Country
Programme intends to step up its
cooperation with the newly established
bodies in charge of developing and
managing water and assets. Existing
partnership with CREE –Water and
