Aid Effectiveness in Africa – AWG briefing note

High-level political declarations have called for accelerated progress to meet the water and sanitation targets. However, such global commitments need to translate into concrete results at the country level. Recent assessments show that enormous challenges still exist for recipient countries to access and make effective use of aid. This briefing note gives advice on how aid effectiveness can be improved at national and global levels.

L'efficacité de l'aide - note de synthèse GTA

Les déclarations politiques de haut niveau réclament l’accélération du progrès vers les cibles en matière d’eau et d’assainissement. Or, les engagements mondiaux doivent se traduire par des résultats concrets au niveau national. Des évaluations récentes ont montré que les pays bénéficiaires ont toujours de grandes difficultés pour accéder à l’aide et pour l’utiliser de façon efficace. Cette note de synthèse donne des conseils sur comment améliorer l’efficacité de l’aide au niveau national autant que global.

Update on EU aid to water and sanitation - political briefing note

ENGLISH

The purpose of this briefing note is to give an update on EU aid to the water and sanitation sector in Africa as it stands now, nearly ten years past the Johannesburg commitments. It synthesizes findings from previous AWG reports and was presented to all EU member states at an ACP council group meeting in May 2011.

Guidance for the use of Water Supply and Sanitation Purpose Codes (OECD DAC Creditor Reporting System)

Purpose codes for water and sanitation have been revised taking effect in 2011 reporting on 2010 flows (agreed by the DAC Working Party on Statistics – WP-STAT – in May 2009). The purpose of this Note is to offer guidance to users of the revised codes; as such, the Note is “work in progress” and it is envisaged that the Guidance will be updated in the light of donors’ experience in applying the revised Codes. In offering guidance on the new purpose codes, this document also contributes to the higher objective of improving the overall quality of data in the water sector.
