AMCOW … [et al.] (2006). Getting Africa on track to meet the MDGS on water and sanitation : a status review of sixteen African countries. WSP/EUWI.
On the first page, the reader is presented with an overall MDG outlook, which seeks to answer the question, “is the country on the right track to reach the MDGs for water supply and sanitation? ” The answer to this question is based on past performance in extending access to WSS matched against the MDG targets. The issue of capacity to achieve the goals is also presented graphically and the answer also considers the financial capacity and projected investment needs, as outlined in a table.
The first page also contains a ‘snapshot’ of progress toward the MDG Roadmap while the next three address sector preparedness, which is considered from the following areas:
• National strategies;
• Institutional arrangements;
• Sector financing;
• Sector monitoring and evaluation; and
• Sector capacity.
