<p>The AfDB launched during the 3rd Africa Water week two major reports. The &ldquo;<a href="http://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Project-and-Operations/Vol_1_WATER_SECTOR_GOVERNANCE.pdf">Water sector governance in Africa</a>&rdquo; report finds that poor governance has been a major reason for the poor record of sustainability of water and sanitation services affecting millions of Africans.&nbsp;</p> <p>The &ldquo;<a href="http://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Project-and-Operations/2010_11%20Guidelines%20for%20User%20Fees%20Cost%20Recovery_Urban.pdf">Guidelines for User Fees and Cost Recovery for urban and rural water and sanitation</a>&rdquo; touch upon a very critical issue for all water sectorinvestments: how to ensure that water and sanitation services are financially viable, in addition to being environmentally and socially sustainable?</p>
