Zambia Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Finance - Main Report

The study on Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Sector Finance and Resource Flow has been conducted with a view to examine roles and responsibilities of sector players, the level and adequacy of funding, the relative importance of different sources of funding and the main channels of resource flows. These issues have been assessed under three main headings: (i) institutional mapping; (ii) financial mapping and resource flows; and, (iii) preliminary assessment of monitoring systems. Within this context, the study seeks to provide a better understanding of the level of resources actually flowing to different sub-sectors and service providers, to explore the extent to which the potential of non-public resources is being tapped effectively and how this can be enhanced and, to assess how efficiently and effectively the funds are used at present.
