| Summary: | Angola’s human development potential is
constrained by the state of its water supply, sanitation,
and hygiene (WASH) sector. The Angola WASH sector diagnostic
identifies key service-delivery problems in the WASH sector
and their enabling environment through an institutional
assessment and political economy analysis that takes into
account the cross-sectoral links underpinning human
development. Specifically, the diagnostic first explores
inequalities in access to WASH services and their
relationship to childhood health in Angola, using data from
the most recent demographic health survey (DHS, 2015-16) and
the joint monitoring program (JMP) of the United Nations
Children’s Fund and World Health Organization. Next, the
diagnostic identifies key institutional constraints and
bottlenecks through a comprehensive governance and public
expenditure review of Angola’s WASH sector. Finally, the
report provides guidance on how to improve the effectiveness
of the WASH sector in support of broader policy goals to
achieve sustainability and meet the targets of the
sustainable development goals (SDGs). The diagnostic answers
the following questions, each of which probes the links
between access to safe WASH services and human development
and highlights opportunities to improve policy, investments,
and practice: (1) what is the current level and quality of
access to WASH services in Angola, and how does access vary
temporally and spatially?; (2) what are the links and
synergies between WASH and other sectors critical to human
development in Angola?; (3) what constrains WASH service
delivery; and (4) what solutions will have the greatest
effect on overall human development? |
