News The puzzle — informing key decision and policy makers in the sanitation and drinking-water sectors

If the full picture of the sanitation and drinking-water sectors is a puzzle, then service levels reflected in the coverage figures are pieces of the puzzle. Other pieces are information on institutional capacity, the policy framework, human resources capacity, and the flows of sector funds together with the capacity to absorb them. An important piece is the capacity to translate all this information into better sanitation and drinking-water services, resulting in healthier and more dignified living conditions, and a more productive working environment.
