Financing for the Realization of the Rights to Water and Sanitation 2011, para. 47
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Current funding patterns disproportionately target networked urban areas. Large systems in urban areas (e.g. wastewater treatment facilities and sewerage pipelines etc.) receive vastly larger sums than basic services in rural areas and deprived urban areas (e.g. latrines, boreholes and hand pumps). Currently, 62 per cent of all of the sectoral aid goes to developing large systems, while only 16 per cent goes to basic systems. This marks a near 10 per cent decline in funding basic services since 2003.
