Key Message #1
Water spending needs
are US$32 billion a year,
(of which US$22 billion
for WSS MDGs)
An illustrative water investment agenda
for the next decade
Water supply – meet MDG target by 2015 (and
rehabilitate existing systems to ensure sustainability)
Sanitation – meet MDG target by 2015 (and rehabilitate
existing systems to ensure sustainability)
Irrigation – develop all viable large and small scale
irrigation opportunities amounting to 7 million has.
Water resources – develop all water storage associated
with feasible hydro-projects (of at least 35 GW)
Overall price tag of US$32 billion annually
– mainly MDG related

How investment needs here are different from
previous estimated?
Analysis expands existing methodologies:
Includes non-standardized infrastructure costs, reflecting
country-specific patterns of demography and geography and
differences in levels of technological innovation and local
market development
Assumes that the relative prevalence of water and sanitation
supply modalities will remain constant from 2006 to 2015
Estimates rehabilitation needs based on the specific status of
assets and rehabilitation backlog of each country
Allows running sensitivity analysis on different parameters
(quality of service, costs, timeframe) and exploring
affordability issues

Key Message #2
First step towards
achieving water security
is to develop priority
hydro-power schemes
Achieving full water security is an
unquantified challenge
Africa’s hydrological legacy is particularly challenging
High rainfall variability within and across years
60 international rivers
Extreme hydrological events (droughts/floods) have major
macro-economic impacts
Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique all losing 1% GDP annually
Africa’s per capita water storage capacity is 200m3 versus
at least 1,000m3 in other developing regions
Cost of increasing storage by these multiples would be
prohibitive in economic terms
Raising Ethiopia’s storage to RSA levels would cost US$35bn,
Major development of hydro-power over next
decade particularly with regional trade

Key Message #6
There is a ‘funding gap’ of
US$11.4 billion a year for WSS,
even after the US$2.9 billion
‘efficiency gap’ is recouped
What do we mean by an efficiency gap?
Water tariffs recover less than 2/3 of the full capital
cost of the service (60%)
Operating inefficiency of utilities creates a drag
Non-revenue water of 34% versus best practice 10%
Revenue collection of 72% versus best practice 100%
Low number of connections per employees (259
connections/employee on average)
Low public sector budget execution ratios lead to
unspent resources (US$0.2 bn)
There is a funding gap of $11.4 billion a
year – even after recouping inefficiencies
