The Africa Water Vision 2025 was formulated to guide the development and management of water resources for sustainable development. A number of indicators were selected along the lines of the methodologies developed for the World Water Development Report in order to quantitatively measure progress in the implementation of water-related projects.

The WSP Quality Assurance Tool, jointly developed by WHO and the International Water Association (IWA), with support from AusAID, DWI (UK), MHLW (Japan) and NSF International. It facilitates an objective assessment of efforts in water safety planning, the approach recommended by the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality to ensure consistent supplies of safe drinking-water. It systematically highlights the areas in a WSP where progress is made and where opportunities for improvement present themselves.

This paper explains the idea of Strategic Finance Planning, which is concerned with finding national consensus on future water and sanitation planning, including financial feasibility. The study focuses on water and sanitation services in Africa.

CLUES presents a complete set of guidelines for sanitation planning in low-income urban areas. It is the most up-to-date planning framework for facilitating the delivery of environmental sanitation services for urban and peri-urban communities. CLUES features seven easy-to-follow steps, which are intended to be undertaken in sequential order. Step 5 of the planning approach relies on the Compendium, applying the systems approach to select the most appropriate technological option(s) for a given urban context. The document also provides guidance on how to foster an enabling environment for sanitation planning in urban settings. Published in 2011, 100 pages, with a memory key.

In 2004, the WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality recommended that water suppliers develop and implement "Water Safety Plans" (WSPs) in order to systematically assess and manage risks. Since this time, governments and regulators, water suppliers and practitioners have increasingly embraced this approach, but they have also requested further guidance. This much-anticipated workbook answers this call by describing how to develop and implement a WSP in clear and practical terms. Stepwise advice is provided through 11 learning modules, each representing a key step in the WSP development and implementation process.
