  1. Nigeria Attaining the MDGs for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Dawda Jawara 29 August 2006

  2. Presentation Outline • Part 1 – Current Situation • Coverage and access • Policy and strategy • Sector financing • Part 2 - Analysis • Part 3 – Recommendations

  3. PART 1 – Current Situation

  4. Coverage and Access • Rural population - 65 million (2006) • Water coverage access 39% • Sanitation coverage and access – 45% • Limitations of data • Population uncertain • Wide variation in coverage estimates • Masks regional variations • functionality of facilities? • Equity?

  5. National targets • NWSSP – very ambitious • 60 % coverage by 2003 • 80% by 2007 • 100% coverage by 2011 • Need to take into account recent reviews and reformulate targets in line with MDGs

  6. Policy framework • Strong policy environment • Willingness to develop policies • Policy support at highest level • NWSSP – 2000 (under review) • Water Sanitation Policy (draft form)

  7. Strategic Framework • RWSS strategic framework • Outlines key principles for RWSS implementation • Identifies all stakeholders and roles • Develops the concept of a national programme • Donor coordination is improving

  8. Financing (1) • Financing gap for meeting MDGs • Water – approx Naira 200 bn • Sanitation – approx Naira 150 billion • Current Budgets (water supply) • Federal Govt (4 bn/yr average 2000-2005) • States (difficult to assess but limited) • LGAs (negligible) • Current Budgets (rural sanitation) • Generally negligible

  9. External Support Budgets • Total Naira 18bn (EU, DFID, JICA, UNICEF, UNICEF/FGN) known financing covering period 2005 – 2009

  10. Summary current situation • Uncertain data for planning and monitoring • Low coverage / access

  11. PART 2 - ANALYSIS

  12. Characteristics of off track countries (water supply) • Water tends to be a high priority in PRSPs / country strategies but governance to implement policies is weak • Sector activities tend to be driven by external agents, e.g. donors and IFIs. • NGOs provide services; yet coordination is weak, and programmes are off-budget • good diagnosis of water linkages at a central level, but weaker at decentralised levels

  13. Characteristics of “on track” countries (water supply) • Reform agenda driven by government • Government expresses linkages between water, poverty & econ development in policy frameworks • NGOs act as effective advocates, and help to drive water as a policy issue • Implementation of water sector reform, tends to be active • Issues of effective decentralisation (autonomy of decision making and financial management) and M&E in the sector are, in most cases, weak relative to the other water sector governance factors

  14. Keys to success (Sanitation) • Supply driven approaches have not worked • Demand driven approaches (e.g.) • Social marketing • Total sanitation • Sani centres • Sanitation succeeds where there is a strong appreciation of the benefits

  15. PART 3 - RECOMMENDATIONS

  16. RECOMMENDATIONS • Improving governance • Broaden dialogue (governance cannot be solved by ONLY WS&S actors) • Strengthen Strategic framework • Reinforce the concept of a govt-led national programme supported by donors • Broaden participation by non-state actors • Consider alternative service delivery models (e.g. multi village initiatives) • Focus on demand side for sanitation

  17. RECOMMENDATIONS • Strengthen monitoring and evaluation • National baseline survey for RWSS • Improve capacity for consistent reporting • Improve qualitative reporting
