| Summary: | People in rural areas of Benin have a
greatly increased access to safe drinking water, thanks to
government vision, donor support, and the investment and
advisory assistance of the World Bank. In 2000, the
government of Benin began preparing the ministries of key
sectors for a shift from a project approach to a
programmatic approach with enhanced budget support. The
World Bank, through budget support operations and other
donors, has supported Benin's reforms in budget
preparation and management and in implementation of the
country's poverty reduction strategy paper. The
ministry of rural water supply was part of this move, and
Benin is on track to meet the millennium development goals
(MDG) target for its rural drinking-water supply. The smart
lessons share how the World Bank contributed to Benin's
remarkable progress in this sector. |
