NEARLY 30% OF WEST AFRICANS LACK ACCESS TO AN IMPROVED WATER SOURCE

A ccording to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2015, 91% of the global population is using an improved drinking water source. However, Africa still lags behind: almost half of those who do not benefi t from access to an

improved drinking water source live in sub-Saharan Africa (330 million people), including a large number of people in the Sahel region. Nearly 30% of the West African population does not have access to an improved drinking water source. While disparities between rural and urban areas are decreasing, signifi cant gaps remain. In Niger, for example, almost all urban dwellers enjoy access to an improved drinking water source; in contrast, half of the rural population remains deprived. According to FAO Aquastat estimates, between 2013 and 2017, nearly half of Chadians will not have access to an improved drinking water source; the situation also remains of serious concern in Mauritania (42.1% without access). Among the Sahelian countries, only Burkina Faso and Mali have achieved Target C of MDG 7 relating to access to safe drinking water; no Sahelian country has achieved the goal relating to access to basic sanitation services.

PRÈS DE 30 % DES OUEST-AFRICAINS N’A PAS ACCÈS À UNE SOURCE D’EAU AMÉLIORÉE

S elon le rapport 2015 des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement (OMD), 91 % de la population mondiale dispose désormais d’un accès à une eau potable améliorée. Toutefois, l’Afrique reste à la traîne : près de la moitié

des personnes utilisant toujours des sources d’eau non améliorées vit en Afrique subsaharienne (environ 330 millions) dont une bonne partie dans la région sahélienne. Près de 30 % de la population ouest-africaine ne dispose pas d’un accès à une source d’eau améliorée. Les disparités entre zones rurales et urbaines ont diminué, mais l’écart reste important. Au Niger par exemple, la quasi-totalité des personnes vivant en zone urbaine utilise désormais une source d’eau potable améliorée, alors que la moitié de la population rurale en reste privée d’accès. Selon les estimations de la FAO Aquastat, entre 2013 et 2017, près de la moitié des Tchadiens n’a et n’aura toujours pas accès à une source améliorée d’eau potable ; la situation reste également préoccupante en Mauritanie (42,1 % sans accès). Parmi les pays sahéliens, seuls le Burkina Faso et le Mali ont atteint l’objectif « OMD 7c » sur l’eau potable. Aucun pays sahélien n’a atteint l’objectif lié à l’accès aux services d’assainissement de base.
