This study addresses a number of key concerns of
AMCOW, the European Union (EU) and other donors
around the need to increase support to sanitation in
order to accelerate the progress of national plans, Africawide
goals, and the attainment of the MDG target on
sanitation.
The purpose of the study is to obtain an overview of the
status of the involvement of EU Member States and the
European Commission in sanitation-related activities in
Africa. It is anticipated that the findings of this work will
have the potential to be used for both arguing for greater
priority for sanitation within the international architecture
and also for individual donors to use in discussing their
own Official Development Assistance (ODA). The work is complementary to the report from 2008
on mapping EU development assistance to the water
sector in Africa. This earlier report had a much wider
remit and as such, the Sanitation Mapping report can be
considered as being supplementary to it
