Abstract:
Community participation in water supply and sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa are discussed. Examples are CLTS (Community-Led Total Sanitation) in southern Ethiopia and WaSH (water, sanitation and hygiene) programmes on schools in Kenya. In countries from the Eastern and Southern Africa regional grouping (ESA) integrated approaches with serious community involvement are gaining ground. However, the pace of adopting these approaches is too slow to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. With the current trend it is estimated that by 2015 in sub-Saharan Africa 234 million people will still lack water and 317 million will lack sanitation.
