Water and sanitation: How can Africa fill the gaps? Insights from the African Economic Outlook 2007 Kenneth Ruffing, Project Co-ordinator OECD Development Centre and African Development Bank

2 Access to water and sanitation: the facts 10 million people / year have gained access to improved drinking water over in sub-Saharan Africa; an additional 20 million/year need to gain access. The number of unserved has increased by about 60 million and SSA is unlikely to reach the MDGs by The situation is worse for sanitation: 7 million people/year have been connected; an additional 35 million people/year annually need access to improved sanitation If the MDGs were reached by 2015, 234 million people would still lack access to safe drinking water and 317 million to improved sanitation

3 People w/o access to drinking water (ml) The world is progressing. On present trends, Africa’s share of the unserved is growing. Source: WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme

4 People w/o access to sanitation (ml) Idem for sanitation but proportions are 3 times bigger. Source: WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme

5 Access: some outstanding experiences North Africa: –91% have access to drinking water (highest level in developing world with Latin America). –Sanitation coverage up by 12% points between 1990 and 2004 (at 75%), on track to reach the 83% target by Universal access to water in Mauritius and South Africa. Uganda: coverage for drinking water × 3 between 1990 and 2006 (from 21 to 61 per cent). Tanzania: 90% of population have access to some form of sanitation.

6 A resource issue? No Renewable water per capita (m 3 /inhab/yr) Source: FAO, Aquastat.

7 Mainly a management issue Weak extraction capacities - except in North and South Africa Inefficient use: agricultural (68%), domestic (24%), industrial (8%). Industrial pollution, poor sanitation and sewage practices. In Congo, only 68% of SNE water samples comply with quality standard. Wastage: unaccounted for water reaches 50% in most cities. Botswana: 46%, Mauritius: 47%, Cairo & Alexandria: 50% (good practice: 15-20%)

8 The challenges Implement integrated water resource management (IWRM) Strengthen local management Advance sanitation and wastewater treatment to the top of the development agenda

9 Status of national IWRM Level 1Level 2Level 3 North Africa Egypt Morocco Tunisia Mauritania Sudan Algeria Libya Central Africa CameroonBurundi Central African Rep. Chad Congo DRC Rwanda Eastern Africa Uganda Eritrea Ethiopia Kenya Mauritius Tanzania Western Africa Burkina Benin Ghana Mali Nigeria Senegal Southern Africa Namibia South Africa Zimbabwe Botswana Malawi Mozambique Swaziland Zambia Source: Global Water Partnership, 2006

10 Key management issues Improve national water policies and legislation. Develop sound and autonomous regulation: monitor progress, set guidelines, design incentives to extend service provision and protect consumers (NWASCO in Zambia). Strengthen capacity on the ground (partnership in South Africa between TCTA and Umgeni Water). Harmonise different stakeholders’ interventions (SWAP in Uganda). Facilitate participation of all stakeholders: improve efficiency, maintenance, avoid conflict (Ghana community approach). Strengthen Regional cooperation

11 Reducing the sanitation gap Increasing access to drinking water can only be safely achieved if sanitation is tackled simultaneously. Awareness raising: Senegal Investments are small compared to the returns, avoiding the health and environmental costs of inaction (WHO: economic benefits of meeting MDGs in Africa = $23 bl/yr). Overcome the segmentation in the sector: between administrations, among providers (Durban). Develop technologies adapted to communities’ needs. Invest in prevention campaigns (Community health clubs in Zimbabwe).

12 Financing - a key issue for all stakeholders Investment needs: $20 b/yr until 2025, 1/3 for sanitation, ¼ for drinking water supply (African Water Vision 2025). Public money (national budgets and ODA) remains insufficient. National water providers have failed to achieve financial viability. Least attractive sector to private investors – but active in some countries.

13 Strengthening utilities Financial independence: –Cost-recovery: affordability and cross-subsidisation –Sustainable & predictable public funding Capacity building through benchmarking and partnerships (ex: UNSGAB Water Operators Partnership). Small-scale local providers –Flexible, better knowledge of remote areas –But they need to be better regulated and their action facilitated by institutional framework (Uganda Association of Private Water Operators)

14 What role for the donor community? Source: OECD/DAC Bilateral ODA Multilateral ODA Total Water ODA to Africa, $ billion, 2004 prices

15 What role for the donor community? Using ODA to leverage further financing (Zambian Devolution Trust Fund). Using subsidies targeted on performance, such as Output-Based Aid (GPOBA in Mozambique). Develop innovative financial tools: sub-sovereign financing facility in local currency, risk mitigation through resource pooling. The role of the African development Bank: African Water Facility and the Rural Water and Sanitation Initiative.
