Talk:Water supply and sanitation in Rwanda

Comment
It would be appreciated if someone could help to answer the following questions:


 * What is the primary source for the 2007 rural water access figure of 71% quoted by the government? Has there been any census or survey after 2005 to back up this figure?
 * Are there any systematic data on service quality (pressure, continuity, water quality) in either urban or rural areas? Maybe the rural water systems survey of 2004 has some data.
 * Is there any wastewater treatment in urban areas? The Electrogaz website lists only water treatment plants, which could suggest that there is no wastewater treatment at all.
 * What are the tariff levels and structures in both urban and rural areas?
 * What is the share of metering in both urban and rural areas?
 * What is the level of cost recovery for Electrogaz?
 * What is the level of investment in urban water supply and sanitation? Available figures show only investments for rural areas.
 * What share of investments is financed by donors and what share is financed by the government? Donors seem to finance a lot, but the CDF (10% of tax revenues - but how much for water and sanitation?) also may add significant sums.
 * How and how much do users in rural areas contribute to investments in water systems (in the form of labor, local materials and/or cash)?
 * What is the share of rural users that receives water for free?
 * How are those that receive water for free being selected, and based on which criteria?
 * What is the role of women in managing rural water systems?
 * Do pumped systems use electricity or diesel as a source of power? Any use of renewable energy?
 * What is the role of NGOs in water and sanitation in Rwanda? They seem to have a strong presence in the country, as in most of Africa. Do they follow the national strategy established by the government for rural areas?
 * More details on how well the public-private partnerships for rural water supply have been working would be welcome.
