EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI) was launched in 2003 as a framework for

resource mobilization, investment, and development of rural water supply, improved sanitation, and

hygiene behavior change (HBC) across Africa. Two years later, in 2005, at the first International

Conference on Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) in Africa, the RWSSI Trust Fund (TF) was

established primarily to raise additional resources for financing RWSSI activities.

Reducing poverty by accelerating access to improved rural water supply and sanitation facilities from

a baseline of 47% and 44% respectively in 2000, to 100% by 2025 is the overarching objective of

RWSSI.

RWSSI's work in the past three years has been guided by the 2012-2015 Strategic Plan (SP) adopted

by the Board of Directors of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in April 2013. The plan is aligned

both to the African Water Vision (AWV) and the targets of the Millennium Development Goals

(MDGs).

The RWSSI SP, therefore, seeks a 70% access to

safe, adequate, and affordable water supply and

62% for improved sanitation for all rural areas in

Africa by 2015 with the target of achieving a

100% access by 2025.

This progress report not only summarizes the

2015 achievements but also presents the

cumulative results in the RWSS sector in Africa

in view of gaining greater perspective on what

progress (or lack of) was made in accomplishing

the MDG targets and effectively delivering on

the RWSSI SP. With RWSSI developing a new

long-term plan to guide its future strategic

direction from 2016 onwards and the

international community transitioning to the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the

report also highlights critical lessons and

opportunities to improve future operations and

accelerate universal coverage.

Progress Made, but Universal Access Remains a Challenge

Overall, considerable progress was made by RWSSI and partners to expand access to safe, affordable,

and sustainable water supply and sanitation services to all people living in rural Africa in 2015. By the

end of 2015, the total cumulative number of people who gained access to water supply within the

RWSSI stood at 135 million while the total number of people who gained access to improved sanitation

stood at 90 million.

These figures represent a 60 percent access to water supply (i.e. 10 percent below the desired 70 percent

target), and a 30.8 percent access to sanitation (i.e. 31.2 percent below set targets).

Neither do the above numbers reflect growing concerns over ‘usage’ as compared to simple ‘coverage’

data. Also, it does not consider concerns over poor levels of sustainability of water provision (where

average downtime of water points across most of Africa is between 30-40%). Another concern is that

By the end of 2015, the total cumulative number of people who gained access to water supply within the RWSSI stood at 135 million while the total number of people who gained access

to improved sanitation stood at 90 million as a

result of the interventions of RWSSI and its Partners


5

the above MDG figures do not reflect the very high regression rates for household sanitation (as much

as 80% regression for many programs as found in a recent impact evaluation (IEs) for CLTS. On top

of this is the fact that HBC hardly featured at all in the MDG targets or achievements.

These challenges will need to be carefully addressed in future RWSSI operations and in delivering on

RWSS goals and targets in the SDGs.

Scaling up Investments, Leveraging Resources for Greater Impact

Since inception in 2003, RWSSI has been active in 35 countries through the implementation of a total

of 53 programs. In 2015, the Board of the AfDB approved the critical multinational project to tackle

the Ebola crisis in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. This timely project contributed significantly

towards halting the deadly virus in West Africa. Two other key projects in Uganda and Sudan were

approved in 2015.

By December 31, 2015, RWSSI programs and projects had benefited from a total estimated financing

of about €5.93 billion (ref. Annex 3). Of this, € 1.53 billion (26%) was from AfDB, € 0.14 billion (2%)

from the RWSSI-TF, € 2.26 billion (38%) from other donors, € 1.73 billion (29%) from African

governments and € 0.27 billion (5%) from beneficiary communities (see Figure 3 below).

During the reporting period, the RWSSI-TF received € 6.02 million from Switzerland and € 14.0

million from France. Total payments from Burkina Faso, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the

Netherlands, and Switzerland amounted to € 176.21 million. The funds received into the Trust Fund

account have so far accrued interest of € 2.46 million.

The annual disbursement rate for the RWSSI-TF during 2015 was 22%, and this is close to the annual

disbursement of previous years.

Mainstreaming Climate Adaptation and Fragility in RWSSI Interventions

In recognition of emerging challenges facing rural communities in Africa, in 2015, RWSSI sought to

mainstream climate change, gender, the private sector and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in its

planned and future activities with a greater focus on fragile states. Projects approved in 2015

mainstream climate adaptation in their operations as a means of achieving sustainable rural water

supply (Uganda, Sudan).

The RWSSI programs planned for Sudan and Uganda incorporate substantial M&E activities as project

components. Five of the six interventions approved in 2015 were in states in fragility (Central African

Republic, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Sudan) in keeping with RWSSI's SP.

Knowledge Management, Learning, Outreach, and Communications

Knowledge management and communication were a major pillar of the 2012-2015 RWSSI strategic

plan and remains a central priority going forward. As part of efforts to gain a deeper understanding

into the Bank's delivery of water supply and sanitation interventions in RMCs, RWSSI supported the

conduct of four impact evaluations (IEs) in Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. These timely

evaluations enabled RWSSI to gain better insight into the impact of its programs and leverage lessons

to improve future operations.

In 2015, RWSSI continued to conduct external engagement, build new partnerships and expand

existing ones to improve collaboration and cooperation in the delivery of RWSS. In April 2015.

RWSSI participated in the World Water Forum in Korea. During the event, not only did RWSSI

organize a high-level event on emerging solutions to tackle the provision of rural water supply and

sanitation, but it also engaged with other global organizations and actors on ways to sustainably fund

the sector in Africa.


6

In 2015, RWSSI also took an active part in the AfricaSan conference in Senegal during which it

together with the World Bank presented a

toolkit for professional rural services.

Several communication activities undertaken in

2015 led to greater visibility and awareness

raising on the work of RWSSI. Not only was a

communication plan reviewed and updated to

reflect current priorities of RWSSI, the micro-

site on the AfDB website was constantly

updated and the Dgroups discussion forum

continued to receive additional members. The

Dgroups has become an important channel for

engagement of rural WASH stakeholders in the

AfDB and across Africa. It is also a repository

of documents and other vital water supply and

sanitation resources. In essence, RWSSI has

been a key contributor to technical knowledge

generation and dissemination towards global

solutions to rural water and sanitation development.

Looking forward

2016 marks the pivot to the implementation of the SDGs and particularly Goal 6 focused on universal

access to water supply and sanitation.

Central to RWSSI activities will be the development of a more focused and targeted strategy to address

the ever-complex challenges of expanding coverage of water supply and sanitation in rural Africa.

Out of about 700 million living in rural areas in Africa, about 280 million people are still without

access to water supply representing close to 40 percent. In sanitation, the situation is even worse as out

of 700 million people living in rural areas, close to 500 million are without improved sanitation

representing close to 70 percent.

In line with the AfDB’s water sector policy under development and critical continental policy

instruments such as the AWV and the Ngor Declaration on Sanitation, the new RWSSI 2016-2025

strategy will seek tackle these challenges to ensure universal coverage by 2025.

INTRODUCTION

Background

RWSSI is a regional framework for resource mobilization, investment, and development of rural water

supplies, improved sanitation and HBC across Africa. RWSSI was first launched by the AfDB in 2003

as a focused regional response to the rural water supply and sanitation sub-sector to support African

governments meet the targets of the AWV-2025 and the MDGs.

The overarching objective of RWSSI is to reduce poverty by accelerating access to improved rural

water supply and sanitation facilities from a baseline of 47% and 44% respectively in 2000, to 100%

by 2025, in a sustainable manner. RWSSI had the strategic goal of achieving 70% access to safe,

adequate, and affordable water supply and 62% for improved sanitation for all rural areas in Africa by

2015 with the target of achieving a 100% access by 2025. In 2005, at the first International Conference

on RWSS in Africa, African governments and international development partners adopted RWSSI as

a common framework for resource mobilization and investment for rural water supply and sanitation

delivery in Africa.

RWSSI is now in its thirteenth year of operations. During this period, it has been subjected to an

internal assessment in 2009 and an external evaluation in 2012. Based on the internal and external

findings, the 2012-2015 RWSSI Strategic Plan (SP) was prepared with five operational components:

i. RWSS sub-sector governance and enabling environment;

ii. Sub-sector investments in fragile states;

iii. Sustainability of RWSS systems;

iv. Knowledge management/communication, including sub-sector M&E

v. RWSSI/RWSSI-TF governance.

The 2012-2015 Strategic Plan for RWSSI aimed at fostering:

Africa-wide ownership and commitment to RWSSI’s goals;

Improvement of the rural water supply and sanitation portfolio for both implementation and

performance;

Better management and governance of the sub-sector;

Increased sub-sector funding;

Mainstreaming of climate change adaptation measures, sustainability aspects, and income

generation activities into program design and implementation;

Better results measurement and reporting.

The approach adopted for RWSSI underscores the mainstreaming of rural water supply and sanitation

development within government sector programming while providing support for the development of

programs and projects where these are non-existent. This approach requires close coordination

between government agencies, donors, and other stakeholders, to ensure successful country-level

operations, while adopting innovative models, including appropriate designs to stimulate demand-

responsiveness and fast-tracking approaches, particularly to those poorest and most fragile countries

in Africa that are severely off-track in achieving the MDGs.

At the first international conference on Rural Water Supply and Sanitation in Africa held in Paris in


8

April 2005, African Governments and international development partners adopted RWSSI as a

common framework for resource mobilization and investment for rural water and sanitation delivery

in Africa. The RWSSI-TF, managed by the AfDB was also established to raise additional resources

for financing RWSSI activities. By December 2015, the Bank had approved 53 rural water supply and

sanitation operations across 35 countries contributing to improved access to drinking water and

sanitation. Overall, 135 million people gained access to clean water and 90 million gained access to

improved sanitation as a result of interventions of RWSSI and its Partners over the 13 years of

operation. The current RWSSI strategic plan (2012–2015) used the MDG targets for water supply

(70%) and Sanitation (62%). However, by Dec 2015, 60.1 % of rural population had improved access

to water and only 30.8% to improved sanitation (i.e. less than half of the MDG target.

Within the framework of a consulting contract, RWSSI will be reviewed against the Strategic Plan

2012–2015 as well as the initial objectives of RWSSI as contained in the Trust Fund agreement and

the strategic and operational guidelines of the Bank as part of the process to develop a new Strategic

Plan 2016-2025. The review that will take place in 2016 will particularly focus on the relevance,

effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of RWSSI and the RWSSI-TF.

Purpose and Content of the 2015 Annual Report

The purpose of this report is to update stakeholders on the progress made in the implementation of

RWSSI activities in 2015, and cumulative achievements as of December, 2015The report summarizes

the progress made during the reporting period with respect to advocating for an increased focus on

rural water supply and sanitation in Africa, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of ongoing

RWSSI operations; designing new operations for more effective utilization of RWSSI-TF resources, as

well as strengthening sector M&E and RWSSI governance at the Bank. It also highlights the value-

addition of RWSSI-TF resources.

The report is presented in five sections. Section one is the introduction. Sections two and three present

the RWSSI financing and implementation status in 2015. In section four the cumulative and 2015

achievements are discussed. The last section is the conclusion.

RWSSI FINANCING

2015 RWSSI Financing

In 2015, a total of € 70.6 million was approved for six RWSSI programs/projects, (in Central

African Republic, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Uganda). This was 47% of the amount

which was approved in 2014. Of the total amount approved in 2015, € 58,7 million is from ADF

resources, € 7.5 million is from the GEF LDCF and € 4.37 million from the RWSSI-TF (See Table

1).

Disbursement efficiency

The RWSSI and RWSSI-TF disbursement efficiency in terms of performance against targets has been

satisfactory and compares well to other areas of the water sector and the disbursement performance of

other rural development activities. As shown in Table 3 below, the RWSSI-TF and RWSSI funding

out of ADF have exceeded their targets, both set at 20%.

Table 3: Disbursement performance against targets - December 2015 (Source: OWAS global active portfolio)

When compared to the other departments operating in rural development, OWAS also performs overall

well on disbursement efficiency. As shown in Figure 2 below, the Water and Sanitation Department

(OWAS) performs better than the three following departments: Agriculture and Agro-Industries

Department (OSAN), Governance, Economic and Financial Management Department (OSGE), and

Human and Social Development Department (OSHD) particularly for the AfDB lending.

Figure 2 Comparison of disbursement efficiency (%) within rural development operations

Although the disbursement has met targets, there have been delays in the use of the RWSSI-TF as the

use of the grant funds is tied to loan approval processes. In practice, this has meant that even where

Trust Fund operations are not dependent on a future loan going ahead (implying that the study or

intervention has an intrinsic value to the sector even if no loan occurs), there have been long delays.

One example of this is from DRC where, by July 2015, there was a 30-month start-up delay on a 60-

month project for this reason of loan linkages to grants. In the case of DRC, the loan comprised just

1.5% of the total grant but as a consequence of its inclusion in the overall financial package, it caused

this considerable delay to the program (30 months delay out of 60-month implementation period).

Figure 3: Sources of RWSSI funding

Rural and urban expenditure

Before the creation of RWSSI, the OWAS portfolio was mainly urban. With the advent of RWSSI the

urban/rural ratio is now 60/40 and the overall lending to the water sector has grown. This is considered

of vital importance as the majority (i.e. 8 out of 10 people) of the unserved in Africa continue to live

in the rural areas.

However, while RWSSI has provided funding in support of urgent needs for rural WASH, particularly

in those countries that are water stressed and suffer from droughts that are causing considerable human

suffering, insufficiently targeted use of RWSSI funds and significant delays in program

implementation have sometimes resulted in failure to achieve potential impact.

Management of RWSSI Trust Fund (TF)

The RWSSI-TF was created to ring-fence resources for financing innovative and sustainable rural

water supply and sanitation improvement programs. RWSSI-TF resources are increasingly used as a

catalyst in addressing the enabling environment and sustainability requirements for rural water supply

and sanitation development in fragile, post-conflict, and off-track states. The RWSSI-TF leverages

greater resources into the rural WSS sub-sector.

RWSSI seeks to engage with the Kigali Action Plan (KAP), an AU initiative championed by the

President on Rwanda. The KAP seeks to support 10 of the poorest performing countries in Africa on

RWSS coverage.

RWSSI Trust Fund donors include Burkina Faso, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands,

and Switzerland. Representatives of the AfDB and RWSSI-TF donors, constitute RWSSI Coordination

Committee (RCC) that meets once a year to review the progress made and to examine the work plan

for the forthcoming year. As the Secretariat of the RWSSI-TF, the Bank’s Water and Sanitation

department (OWAS) designs, appraises, processes and supervises RWSSI programs and projects in

line with AfDB’s procedures.

By 31st December 2015, the RWSSI-TF had received contributions amounting to a total of € 176.2

million. The RWSSI and RWSSI-TF significantly increased the share of rural projects in Bank’s

portfolio with an accumulated total of 53 projects in 35 countries. As already mentioned above, there

are an estimated 135 million people across rural Africa who have gained access to water and 90 million

people to sanitation since the creation of RWSSI in 2003.

IMPLEMENTATION STATUS

Orientation of the RWSSI 2015 Program

The RWSSI 2015 Program is aligned with the RWSSI strategic plan (2012–2015) and the Bank’s Ten

Year Strategy (TYS). It also took into consideration the Bank’s operational program for RWSSI in

2015, together with the funds available and those anticipated through the RWSSITF. In 2015, the TF

resources were used to strengthen the enabling environment for the sustainable delivery of rural water

supply and sanitation services, to support national capacity building activities to ensure sustainability,

and for sector monitoring and evaluation (M&E), sector performance reporting, knowledge

management and communication.

Figure 1: Countries with RWSSI-funded Programs


14

The RWSSI operational components as set out in the current strategic plan are:

1. RWSSI/ RWSSI-TF governance

2. RWSS sub-sector governance and enabling environment;

3. Sub-sector investments in fragile states;

4. Sustainability of RWSS systems and,

5. Knowledge management and communication, including sub-sector M&E.

In 2015 RWSSI-TF resources were used to enhance two of these five operational components. 24% to

support the RWSS sub-sector governance and enabling environment, 73% were allocated for enhanced

RWSS investment and 3% for knowledge management and sector M&E. The details are provided in

RWSSI-TF Disbursements

The total disbursement from the RWSS from 2007 to December 31, 2015 was € 86.9 million, up from €

68.1 million in 2014. This represents 54% of the total committed amounts of € 161.74 million. The

financial statement of the RWSSITF showing the disbursements for individual operations is provided

in Annex 4.

There are several cases of serious delays in project start-up. In the case of DRC and Malawi, this has

been caused by the bundling of grants with loans. In DRC, a delay of 30 months and in Malawi a delay

of 14 months occurred because of this arrangement, since loans require parliamentary ratification. In

the case of Burkina Faso, there were delays of several years in the implementation of some components

due to lack of pro-activeness in specifying procedures for procurement, which led not only to delay in

service provision but also to increased cost.

RWSSI works through governments, which sometimes means an increased degree of bureaucracy and


15

weakened implementation capacity. There are often several layers of authority at national and

provincial level which need to be engaged with and might slow down planning and implementation

processes.

OWAS Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy

OWAS staff have developed a monitoring and evaluation strategy that aims at creating an effective

and sustainable M&E system. Its objective is to generate data and information on OWAS operations

that improve decision-making and planning, create knowledge, enhance accountability and strengthen

its capacities to achieve its objectives. A Monitoring and Evaluation Guidebook for Task Managers

has been produced. All new OWAS funded projects now include measures to strengthen RMCs’ M&E

capacities both at national level and within the project implementing institutions.

Communication and Outreach

Knowledge management and communication were a major pillar of the 2012-2015 RWSSI strategic

plan and will remain central priorities going forward. As part of efforts to gain a deeper understanding

into the Bank's delivery of water supply and sanitation interventions in RMCs, RWSSI supported the

conduct of four impact evaluations (IEs) in Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. These timely

evaluations enabled RWSSI to gain better insight into the impact of its programs and leverage lessons

to improve future operations.

RWSSI and OWAS are increasingly using social media to reach out to WASH stakeholders. Tweet from the RWSSI Side Event at the

World Water Forum in Korea in April 2015.

In 2015, RWSSI continued to conduct external engagement, build new partnerships and expand

existing ones to improve collaboration and cooperation in the delivery of RWSS.

In April 2015. RWSSI participated in the World Water Forum in Korea. During the event, not only

did RWSSI organize a high-level event on emerging solutions to tackle the provision of rural water

supply and sanitation, but it also engaged with other global organizations and actors on ways to

sustainably fund the sector in Africa.

RWSSI was singled out during the event as an innovative solution contributing to solving the RWSS

challenge in Africa. "RWSSI and the African Water Facility have become home-grown African

dynamic solutions created to build an enabling environment for sustainable financing of the water


16

sector for the rural, semi-urban and urban areas in our continent," said Senegal’s Minister for Water

and Sanitation, Mansour Faye.

In 2015, RWSSI also took an active part in the AfricaSAN conference in Senegal during which it

presented a toolkit for professional rural services together with the World Bank.

Several communication activities undertaken in 2015 led to greater visibility and awareness raising on

the work of RWSSI. Not only was a communication plan reviewed and updated to reflect current

priorities of RWSSI, but the micro-site on the AfDB website was also constantly updated. Other

communication products included project briefs, a RWSSI newsletter, a set of Questions and Answers

(Q&A) for senior management and a number of press releases and web stories.

At the end of 2015 the RWSSI Dgroups community counts about 800 members and is growing rapidly.

The RWSSI Dgroups discussion continued to receive additional members. As sub-community of the

Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN), it provides its members with additional information out of the

global discussions hosted by RWSN. It has also become an important channel for engagement of rural

WASH stakeholders in the AfDB and across Africa. It is also a repository of documents and other vital

water supply and sanitation resources.

Advocacy

The Bank continued to participate actively in the Sanitation and Water for All partnership (SWA). The

Bank committed to increased focus on off-track and fragile states as well as continued emphasis on rural

WASH in its portfolio. OWAS is also actively participating in SWA’s Global Monitoring Task Team,

aimed to improve harmonization in the global WASH monitoring framework. The intention of SWA’s

Global Monitoring Task Team is to support best practice within existing national and global

monitoring processes. It provides a sounding board for OWAS work to strengthen country-led

monitoring processes and to improve the quality of the Bank’s own monitoring and evaluation capacity.

Mobilization of Funds

With support from the RWSSI Secretariat, the African Union Commission and the Government of

Rwanda developed an initiative called the Kigali Action Plan (KAP) which aims at mobilizing


17

additional resources for 10 off-track and mostly post-conflict countries. During the 23rd African Union

Summit held from June 26-27, 2014 in Malabo Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda expressed its intention to

contribute to the RWSSI-TF and to lead a resource mobilization effort with a particular focus on

resource-rich African countries. On 15th July 2015 the African Union, the Government of Rwanda and

AfDB hosted jointly a Resource Mobilization Side event at the 3rd International Conference on

Financing for Development in Addis Ababa. In the presence of numerous private sector, philanthropy

and government representatives, this side event highlighted the innovative character of the RWSSI-TF

as an example of an African initiative, which has already been deployed for the preparation of projects

where aspects of sustainability, gender, private sector interventions etc. are important.

As a follow-up to pledges made during the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille in March 2012 for

both the AWF and the RWSSI-TF, letters were written to those countries that have not yet followed

up on their pledges. This includes a pledge by Côte d’Ivoire to contribute Euro 6 million to the RWSSI-

TF. So far there has been no progress regarding the outstanding pledges dating back to the 6th World

Water Forum.

Regional Cooperation

The AMCOW Technical Advisory Committee Members and the AMCOW Executive Secretary met

to discuss the future role of the RWSSI Coordination Committee (RCC). It was agreed to convene

the next RCC on the sidelines of the AfricaSAN in Dakar in May 2015. While it was recognized that

the changing composition of biennially appointed TAC members and the difficulty to avail Ministry

of Finance representatives for the RCC was posing a challenge, it was agreed that there was an

important role for the RCC and that continued efforts should be made to make it more active and vocal.

The summary of the RCC meeting on the sidelines of the AfricaSAN is contained in Annex 8.

At the Third International Conference on Financing for Development which was held in Addis Ababa,

Ethiopia in July 2015, RWSSI secretariat organized a side event focused on further mobilizing

resources to support work under the KAP. The Director of the OWAS, Mohamed El Azizi and other

AfDB water and sanitation specialists participated in the event. In a wildly distributed blog to inform

and generate further discussions on funding rural water supply and sanitation in Africa, Mohamed El

Azizi argued that “when water supply and sanitation improve in rural areas, health and quality of life

improve, and other major issues such as poverty alleviation, socio-economic development and gender

equality are addressed.”

Lastly, how to sustainably fund the Kigali KAP was the subject of a two-day workshop held in Addis

Ababa with officials of the African Union.

Policy on Human Right to Water and Sanitation

The Human Right to Water and Sanitation entitles everyone to sufficient, safe, accessible, culturally

acceptable and affordable water and sanitation services for personal and domestic uses; and which are

delivered in a participatory, accountable and non-discriminatory manner. Governments are obliged to

ensure that everybody gains access to these services over a considered timeframe, through creating an

enabling environment; namely by adopting appropriate legislation, policies, programs and ensuring

that these are adequately resourced and monitored.” Most African countries have recognized the

Human Right to Water and Sanitation (HRWS).


18

The 2014 GLAAS Report, states that out of a total of

38 countries that responded, 28 (74%) have so far

recognized the Human Right to Water and 25 (66%)

the Human Right to Sanitation as shown in Figure 4.

National Implementation Planning for Rural Sanitation and Water Supply

According to the most recent GLAAS report (2014)

out of 93 countries surveyed globally 83% have

approved national policies and implementation plans

that have been communicated through formal public

announcement. However, out of 38 countries that

responded in Africa, only 6 (16%) and 8 (21%) have

approved national polices and plans respectively for

implementation of rural sanitation and water supply.

The vast majority (71% and 72%, respectively) do not

have national policies and implementation plans and

the rest are in the process of development.

WASH Monitoring and Evaluation Situation in Africa

Besides the national M&E systems for WASH in each country, there are several international and

regional organizations which are undertaking WASH M&E activities in Africa. Some have been in

operation for several years. These include: the Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) led by UNICEF and

WHO, the UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water (GLAAS),

AMCOW’s Country Status Overview (CSO), the International Benchmarking Network for Water and

Sanitation Utilities (IBNET) and AMCOW’s Monitoring and Reporting System. Within the AMCOW

Monitoring System all 54 countries of the continent are expected to provide data on WASH, to

annually report progress on implementation of the AU Heads of States and Governments’ Sharm el

Sheikh Commitments, and reporting on high-level political commitments on the Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) on water and sanitation in Africa.

Challenge of WASH M&E

All regional and international M&E activities rely on existing country WASH M&E systems.

However, in most countries the National Statistical Offices and WASH institutions responsible for

M&E are weak or even non-existent. There are issues of inadequate M&E functions; weak national

M&E systems; low partner coordination on M&E; and inadequate M&E budgeting, all leading to low

data availability and data gaps. They are unable to provide reliable data for WASH sector planning

and management. This remains a challenge at the country level, and is an area of focus for the Bank

and one of the planned areas of intervention in the new RWSSI strategy.

In 2010, the Bank developed an interim system known as Cumulative Achievement Reporting (CAR)

to strengthen its internal capacity to monitor and report WASH projects and program achievements,

specifically for the RWSSI programs. This tool has been useful in collating data from partners to the

RWSSI secretariat and will be revised to fit into improved scope and approaches in the next phase of

the RWSSI.

ACHIEVEMENTS in 2015

RWSSI MDG Targets and Achievements

155 million people and 226 million people had been targeted to gain access to water supply and

sanitation respectively in Africa by 2015.

However, the actual number of rural people who gained access by 2015 was 135 million people for

water supply and 90 million people for sanitation. Yet, it needs to be acknowledged that these figures

do not take into account failures caused by poor sustainability (as much as 30-40% in many countries)

for water points and regression in sanitation achievements (sometimes as high as 80%).

Implementation Progress in 2015

RWSSI country programs in Sudan and Uganda were approved as well as the multinational Ebola

response program in Guinea, Liberia and

Sierra Leone. This brings the total number of

approved operations as of December 31,

2015, to 53 in 35 countries.

During 2015, the amount disbursed for

RWSSI operations (Bank resources for rural

WASH projects and RWSSI-TF) increased

by € 185 million, or 22%, from the € 840

million disbursed by the end of 2014. Based

on the cumulative approved financing for the

53 RWSSI operations, the total

disbursements for RWSSI operations at the

Bank by December 31, 2015, was € 1025.8

million, or 67% of the approved resources

had been disbursed. The total disbursement of

the RWSSI-TF rose by 26% from € 68.1

million to € 86.2 million.

RWSSI is steadily contributing to the overall

provision of access to water supply and sanitation in Africa. Africa has failed to attain its sanitation

and water MDG targets: the population without an improved sanitation facility in 2015 increased

by 289 million since 1990 (with about 60% living in rural areas), whereas 248 million people gained

access during the same period. Attainment of the SDGs will require even greater effort. Annex 1

presents all country operations that were operational in 2015 while Annex 2 presents the 13 country

operations closed in 2015.

Impact Evaluations (IE) Completed in 2015

Four IEs of RWSSI programs were conducted in 2015 in Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia.

The evaluations highlighted critical lessons to improve future performance of RWSS interventions.

With respect to the IE of RWSSI investments in Tanzania, some the following lessons were identified:

The efficiency and effectiveness of an otherwise sound and competent programme can be

seriously compromised by inefficient management of funds at central government level.

The current low and ad-hoc budget subventions to Council Water and Sanitation Teams

The closer water pumps are to villages, the shorter the time it is for

mostly female members of the household to collect water, and as a

result, they stay in school longer.


20

(CWST) gravely compromise the sustainability of the RWSSP achievements.

Without reformed financial management systems linking national and local government

authorities, and without adequate recurrent funding to CWSTs, the progress and sustainability

of Phase II of the Water Sector Development Programme (WSDP) will be inadequate.

For a rural water and sanitation programme to be adequately effective it is essential that the

water and sanitation components be adequately coordinated.

As for the Ethiopia IE, the following issues were highlighted:

The program was not effective in ensuring safe water for households at water source and point

of use at all times, partly due to water contamination during transportation and/or storage. A

third of the time, water was of low quality relative to the recommended WHO standard of

having no E. coli bacteria in human drinking water. At point of use, only 33% of tested drinking

water samples in in the project area were free of E. coli bacteria.

Handwashing without soap leaves risks of infection and hygiene issues; and calls for a people-

centred strategies in project designs to bring about hygiene behaviour change.

There was a lack of detectable impact on the diarrhoea incidence of children under five in both

project and non-project communities, due in part to the similarity of sanitation and hygiene

practices amongst children in these two zones.

This indicates that more should have been

done in educating communities. Future

programs need to be designed to put more

emphasis on sanitation and water quality in

line with SDG 6.3.

There was no significant impact on women’s

participation in self-employment activities.

Time saved was limited, and used for

domestic activities including cooking and

other unpaid work but did not motivate self -

employment. Time-gains alone are not

sufficient for creating economic activities.

Other external factors such as access to credit,

resources and markets, and business training

and skills need to be added to stimulate

economic activities. Programs need to factor

them in at design stage to promote more

vibrant economic activities for women and

girls.

Comparisons of JMP and CAR regarding Improved Sanitation Access Data

There is a troubling difference between the total population reported to have sanitation access in the 18

http://idev.afdb.org/sites/default/files/documents/files/IDEV_Evaluation Report 2016_Ethiopia_English_web_0.pdf


21

countries by the Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) and the Cumulative Achievement Report (CAR).

The CAR reports that between 2006 to 2015, an additional 44.3 million people had access to improved

sanitation in 18 countries, while JMP reports a cumulative 2.2 million for the same period in the same

countries.

There is also a stark difference in the number of

people reported to have access to sanitation. This is

partly attributable to the different definition of

improved sanitation access by the JMP and the

countries.

According to JMP, improved sanitation facilities

are those that ensure hygienic separation of human

excreta from human contact. They include the

following facilities: flush and pour-flush (piped

sewer system, septic tank and pit latrine),

ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine, pit latrine

with slab and composting toilet. In addition, only

facilities that are not shared or not public are

considered improved.

On other hand, some countries consider new

traditional pit latrines as well as shared latrines as

improved. Since the database for CAR is fed by

countries WSS executing agencies, the populations

reported to have gained improved sanitation access are high.

The JMP changed the definition of improved sanitation access in 2006 hence the percentage of

population coverage with improved sanitation was reduced drastically. For example, in Mali, the

percentage of sanitation coverage in 2006 was 39% while in 2012 it was 15% and in Malawi, it was

66% in 2006 and 8% in 2012. Similar differences are observed for most countries.

The difference shows that countries are lagging in adopting JMP definitions in their sanitation policies

and implementation plans.

Sanitation and Water Infrastructure

The cumulative public sanitation facilities provided as of December 31, 2015 is about 132,000 and the

cumulative household sanitation facilities are 2.37 million. Most of the household sanitation facilities

are generally financed by the households themselves.

Capacity Building

Institutional and human resources capacity development are among the key ingredients for sustainable

infrastructure, a key focus of RWSSI. Despite the fact that insufficient staff capacity has been

recognized as a major constraint of the water and sanitation sector, not much lasting progress seems to

have been achieved in this area.

According to the GLAAS 2014 report, out of 59 respondents globally, only one third of countries

reported having human resource (HR) strategies in water.

Sanitation and hygiene for urban and rural areas

Out of 35 African countries, 55% reported having an overall strategy to develop and manage human

resources.

Based on the 2015 CAR data, about 23,000

WASHComs were formed and 112,000 trained. The

total cumulative number established, as of December

31, 2015, is about 114,000. Ethiopia, Madagascar,

Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia are

the major contributors to this increase. .

The total number of people who benefited from

hygiene and health sensitization campaigns up to 2015

was about 1 million and the average participation of

women in the campaigns is about 55%. To date, a total

of about 2 million people have been sensitized.

Besides, about 170 teachers were trained to educate

students on the importance of hygiene and sanitation.

Training was also provided to about 3,595 local

government staff and 1,682 artisans.

Summary of MDG Achievements from JMP Report

The JMP report marks the 25th anniversary of the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program and is

the final report on access to drinking water and sanitation during this final year of the MDG’s. There

has been significant progress.

Drinking water

i. The populations without access to safe drinking water in SSA – 319 million;

ii. 427 million people gained access during the MDG period – an average of 47,000 people per

day for 25 years;

iii. Only 2 countries in SSA – Angola and Equatorial Guinea – have coverage of less than 50%,

compared to 23 countries in 1990;

iv. Sub-Saharan Africa did not meet the MDG target but still achieved a 20-percentage point

increase in the use of improved sources of drinking water;

v. 8 out of 10 people still without improved drinking water sources live in rural areas.

Sanitation

The MDG target called for halving the proportion of the population without basic sanitation, and to

extend access from 54% to 77% of the global population. The MDG target was not met, although there

was some progress.

i. less than 17% gained access in SSA;

ii. Globally, 2.1 billion people have gained access to an improved sanitation facility since 1990;

iii. Due to a combination of population growth and slow progress, the number of people in SSA

without access to sanitation has increased since 1990;

iv. Out of 10 people without improved sanitation facilities, 9 out of 10 people still practicing open

defecation live in rural areas;

funded National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program

23

v. The number of people practicing open defecation has increased in SSA, and the region now

accounts for a greater share of the global total than in 1990. At current rates of reduction, open

defecation will not be eliminated among the poorest in rural areas by 2030.

Hygiene

There was no specific target on hygiene in the MDGS, however its health benefits are significant and

linked to adequate water and sanitation. The JMP covers hygiene practices in its data gathering.

i. Data from over 50 countries show low levels of handwashing in many countries. In SSA, in

the 38 countries for which data are available, it is at best 50%;

ii. In many parts of the developing world, up to 4 out of 10 schools and healthcare facilities lack

basic water, sanitation and hygiene facilities.

Key facts related to children

i. Latest estimates are that 5.9 million children under five die annually from all causes;

ii. Diarrhea disease is the third leading cause of death among children under five. JMP estimates

that more than 340,000 children under five die annually from diarrhea diseases due to poor

sanitation, poor hygiene, or unsafe drinking water – that is almost 1,000 per day;

iii. Some 161 million children suffer from stunting, or chronic malnutrition, which has been linked

to WASH and particularly open defecation.

Key facts on implications for health

i. 842,000 deaths from diarrhea diseases each year could be prevented by improved water,

sanitation, and hygiene;

ii. Poor water, sanitation and hygiene are major contributors to neglected tropical diseases like

schistosomiasis, trachoma and intestinal worms, which affect more than 1.5 billion people

every year;

iii. Basic hygienic practices by birth attendants can reduce the risk of infections, sepsis and death

for infants and mothers by up to 25%, yet many health facilities lack even basic water and

sanitation facilities. In Africa, 42% of health facilities do not have access to an improved water

source within 500 meters.

CONCLUSIONS

1. RWSSI remains highly relevant for the continent’s economic and social development. It has

served as a common platform for resource mobilization across 35 countries and an appropriate

instrument for responding to the challenge of low access to sustainable, safe water supply and

improved sanitation in rural Africa.

2. Few countries did as well as Rwanda in achieving MDG targets. This is attributed to strong

leadership, and political will in support of a practical, low-cost approach to achieving improved

preventative health through their Community-Based Environmental Health Promotion

Program (CBEHPP) that has been taken to scale and serves as a blue-print in the KAP for wider

dissemination.

3. JMP results for the end of the MDGs indicated an alarming shortfall in improved sanitation

coverage while hygiene behavior change has been particularly disappointing.

4. The Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG-6) obliges countries to achieve universal access to

water and sanitation by 2030. As such, RWSSI’s objective should be to bolster the resource

mobilization of the RWSSI-TF; to significantly increase the resource allocation of AfDB as

well as those of national budgets and households for rural water supply and, in particular,

hygiene behavior change and sanitation. In addition, it will need to promote cost effective and

sustainable interventions and technologies that will bring universal access to water and

sanitation within reach.

5. A recent Study on Self Supply by UNICEF and SKAT Foundation (RWSN) demonstrates that

self-supply options including Upgraded Family Wells (UFWs), Household Water Treatment

and Storage (HWTS) and Household Rainwater harvesting are not only far more cost effective

than complex conventional water-supply systems, they have also proven to be sustainable (over

25 years in Zimbabwe). UFWs have been proven to be climate resilient (with households

deepening their wells during time of drought) while also improving nutrition and income

generating prospects (nutrition gardens) that positively impacts on empowering women and

achieving improved reduction in poverty and health outcomes.

6. The President of the AfDB1 has prioritized the reduction of stunting. RWSSI should align itself

with this very important initiative by supporting Integrated WASH/Nutrition program that have

specific focus on achieving holistic preventative health outcomes.

1 Highlighted at the AfDB Annual Meeting in Lusaka (23-27 May 2016) where AfDB President, Akinwumi Adesina

together with the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems stated the intention to reduce stunting by 40% by 2025.

WHO estimates a 17:1 benefit by achieving targets for stunting, wasting, anemia & breast-feeding. African Leaders for

Nutrition (ALN) and Bill Gates Foundation are aiming to the reduce number of stunted children by 50 million over the

next ten years’.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

RWSSI management notes that both French and Swiss representatives appreciate the better quality of

reports, but would like to see additional improvements, deemed key to convincing donors. Next year’s

Annual Report will therefore integrate KPI on specific issues, with short and mid-term milestones.

The Strategic Plan 2016 – 2020 will take into account recommendations from the Swiss and French

representatives. It will notably have a more narrow scope, with realistic and attainable objectives

mapped with milestones. A first draft will be made and sent to stakeholders for review.

The allocation of Trust Fund contributions will be reviewed, to include the 3 post-Ebola countries.

RWSSI will also work on the reserve list of beneficiary countries and make sure that fragile states

take priority in case the current Work Plan changes. RWSSI agrees to be especially careful regarding

the work plan for Nigeria, as it represents a large share of the proposed budget.

All attendees agree that new donors are needed. RWSSI will lead a resource mobilization campaign

in the course of the 2nd semester 2015 and OWAS will strengthen the RWSSI team through

recruitment.

Regarding the next annual steering committee meeting, the Bank’s annual meetings will be held in

Lusaka. Various suggestions are made to schedule the RWSSI steering meeting in a way that suits

everyone’s timetable, particularly at this busy time of the year. Without reaching a final decision,

attendees agree that it is important to plan well ahead, both for the meeting itself and for the review

of documents pertaining to it. Mr Zingg announces his retirement in March 2016 and thanks

management for their good cooperation over the years. He affirms that he will participate in the

drafting of the new strategic plan, a much appreciated gesture by RWSSI management, who thank Mr

Zingg for his important personal commitment and contribution to RWSSI.

Mr El Azizi thanks the attendees for their contributions and presentations and concludes by affirming

that the RWSSI will continue until the objective of universal access to water and sanitation is met.
