Title
WUP AFRICA - Better Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor:
Good Practice from
sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
This Good Practice document is part of an initiative by the Water Utility Partnership (WUP) to
document those policies, initiatives and activities that are considered to represent 'good
practice' in the delivery of water and sanitation services to the urban poor by water utilities in
Africa. These practices show sustainable and innovative ways of getting services to low-income
communities. The document was developed from case studies undertaken in nine countries in
sub-Saharan Africa over a two-year period.
This project therefore aimed at developing a better understanding of the conditions necessary
for water and sanitation services to reach low-income communities. It sought to build on the
knowledge and experience of the various actors currently involved in delivering or supporting
these services. The WUP worked in partnership with utilities in Zambia, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria,
Ghana, Malawi, Ethiopia, Senegal, Tanzania and Mali to document and disseminate
information on current good practice in the provision of water and sanitation services to the
urban poor. The project reviewed the conditions that foster the acceleration and sustainability
of private sector, NGO or community-based efforts, and documented the appropriate
institutional and regulatory framework for building partnerships between utilities and small-scale
or community-based initiatives.
