Sanitation in Burkina Faso
Sanitation and Hygiene has risen up the international policy agenda in recent years. It has been included under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) within Target 10, which sets an aim to:
"Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation"
The International Year of Sanitation (IYS) was launched on Wednesday, 21 November 2007 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. It was declared in December 2006 by the United Nations General Assembly, in recognition of the poor progress has been made towards the Millennium Development Goals sanitation target, and aims to develop awareness and action to meet the MDG sanitation target.
ODI's Water Policy Programme is researching on many of the issues behind the International Year of Sanitation. This page collates some of the key resources from ODI on sanitation.

FilmProviding access to clean water and better sanitation for the poor is a global concern. But access alone is insufficient to reduce poverty. Based on RiPPLE research programme theme of Money into Water, Water into Money, this film looks at improved access and poverty reduction in both rural and urban environments in Ethiopia. Understanding links between availability, access and use of water and sanitation is crucial to the challenge of achieving pro-poor economic growth.

Blog
The International Year of Sanitation is an opportunity to draw attention to S&H goals. From World Toilet Day on November 19th, the launch of the IYS on November 21st and the year of activity that follows, development practitioners around the world can expect to witness a renewed and more determined effort to make the case that providing better sanitation & hygiene facilities for poor households is a development priority especially for the benefit of all the people who are currently without basic means to carry out a basic daily function.

show details hide detailsMapping for better accountability in service delivery
PDFAssessing WaterAids work in mapping water supply and sanitation delivery to the poor. Key points:
- By displaying complex information in easily accessible and public formats, mapping can both improve the planning and delivery of services, and increase the public accountability of service delivery.
- WaterAid's work in mapping water and sanitation is a practical example, offering lessons in ways to improve accountability through mapping.
- Mapping can therefore help in implementing new aid instruments, such as Poverty Reduction Strategies, at a local level.

show details hide details From Plan to Action: Water Supply and Sanitation for the Poor in Africa
PDFDiscusses the results of research in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa, which investigated key stages along the 'journey' from Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS or WatSan) 'allocations' in Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) to budget allocations and actual expenditure on sector outputs. The research has observed the kind of events or factors which may disrupt and delay the flow of funds and their translation into poverty reduction outcomes.

show details hide detailsWater and sanitation mapping - WaterAid learning for advocacy and good practice
Multiple PDF files
WaterAid country programmes increasingly use mapping as a tool to support their ongoing work in-country. Mapping is used as an advocacy tool as a way of providing citizens and local governments with information and arguments to demand improved services and, on an operational level, to improve the sustainability and equity of service delivery. Although mapping is still in a pilot phase in many countries, it has already gained considerable popularity across different country programmes. The objective of the WaterAid learning for advocacy and good practice: water and sanitation mapping project is to support learning around these emerging practices by documenting different approaches and by identifying factors that inhibit or facilitate the uptake of mapping information in policy processes.
