Getting Africa on Track to Meet the MDGs on Water and Sanitation: A Status Review of Sixteen African Countries

Is Africa on target towards halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015? This is one of the key questions that the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) has been addressing in a bid to support national initiatives to measure and track progress towards the MDG and WSSD global targets.

Recognizing that the continent requires a mighty effort to achieve the Millennium Development Goals on water supply and sanitation, AMCOW has been collaborating with regional partners to bring together current data so that African sector leaders and support agencies can assess progress and have a comparative basis for sharing country experience and identifying remedial action.

These MDG Country Status Reports are the result of collaborative inputs by AMCOW, the African Development Bank, the European Union Water Initiative, the United Nations Development Programme, the Water and Sanitation Program-Africa, and the World Bank.
