urban - rural inequity • the number of people living in rural areas who do not use an improved source of drinking water is over five times the number living in urban areas • 84% of the world population without improved drinking water lives in rural areas • only 45% of rural population uses improved sanitation, vs 76% in urban areas • seven out of ten people without improved sanitation live in rural areas

Current management models are not keeping handpumps working!
How to create “voice” for rural dwellers? • Does too much of our rural water supply programming stem from a “charity” approach? • Could self supply help? How to ensure affordability? • How to make rural dwellers “clients”? • What governance structures help? • Have we in fact put too much responsibility onto rural communities?
Government and donor money is NOT the most important source of finance for rural water supply
• regional inequity - in general, Sub Saharan Africa lags behind badly on both water and sanitation, South Asia on sanitation (though stil not as badly in percentage terms than SSA) • worldwide, 37% of people not using an improved source of drinking water live in Sub Saharan Africa • water supply coverage in sub-saharan Africa is only 60 percent, while the global total is 87% • sanitation coverage in Sub Saharan Africa is only 31 percent, while globally it is 61 % • sanitation coverage is South Asia is only 36 percent, while globally it is 61%
