Priorities are based on country strategies. A focus on off-track MDGs, including sanitation, was given for the MDG initiative, under which €266 million have been allocated to WASH projects in 19 ACP countries. The last call for proposals of the ACP-EU Water Facility was dedicated to sanitation.

EC supports the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) a platform for dialogue and exchange of experience between the EU and developing countries on climate policy and on practical approaches. Inclusion of WASH activities is variable, depending on country programmes.

ASPECTS OF WASH AID

The ACP-EU Water Facility has allowed the EC to fund about 290 WASH projects, providing safe drinking water to more than 18 million people and sanitation to more than 6 million. An on-going evaluation will identify specific examples of success.

The EC provides General Budget Support but it has not been possible to assess how much of this goes to WASH. €88 million of the EC’s €565 million for WASH is provided as sector budget support.

PREDICTABILITY

Developed and coordinated by the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Health (WSH) Unit at the World Health Organization (WHO) in preparation for the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) High-Level Meeting (HLM), April 2014.

Results contained in this ‘ESA Highlights’ have been compiled by the GLAAS External Support Agency (ESA) Focal Point and the GLAAS Team using data from the Organisation for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) Creditor Reporting System (CRS)1, estimates and text provided in the responses to the GLAAS 2013/2014 ESA survey, and interviews conducted with ESA representatives at World Water Week in Stockholm, September 2013.

The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the World Health Organization concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
