Water and sanitation services, as we all know, remain grossly deficient in slum districts of cities throughout the less-developed world.
Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) has produced a series of short videos relevant for everybody working to improve water and sanitation services for low-income urban consumers, highlighting ways in which African water utilities and other key actors are achieving real progress in this area.
The first four videos in the series are now available to watch on our YouTube channel and cover the following topics:
