Access to water supply and sanitation
(WSS) services remains stubbornly low in Zambia. This poor
record on WSS service delivery is disastrous for Zambia’s
economy by negatively affecting human capital development,
which in turn creates a drag on the economy. Successive
governments in Zambia have recognized this important sector
of the economy and launched reforms and investment programs.
Successive governments in Zambia have recognized this
important sector of the economy and launched reforms and
investment programs. This analysis shows that Zambia’s
chronically inefficient water utilities are creating a
fiscal burden and making it harder for the government to
finance the sector. The rest of the report is organized as
follows: Chapter 2 provides an analysis of the strategic
relevance of the WSS programs to Zambia’s economy, drawing
on existing literature on the economic impacts of WSS and
analysis of a sample of projects in both programs. Chapter 3
analyzes the extent to which the programs are structured to
deliver desired results, focusing on the design and
prioritization of investments, implementation arrangements,
and monitoring and evaluation. Chapter 4 provides an
analysis of the expenditure framework for both programs and
the extent to which it supports efficient program
implementation. Chapter 5 summarizes opportunities that
exist to enhance the effectiveness and impact of both
programs and makes recommendations on medium-term actions to
advance Zambia’s WSS sector and narrow the gap between
policy and practice. |
