"Governments have repeatedly committed to increase support for water and sanitation (most recently in July 2008, at the African Union Summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt) but civil society says implementation has failed due to a lack of funds and political will. "Donor aid is not sufficient for Africa and this goes mostly to middle-income countries (in Asia or Latin America) where maybe the (water and sanitation) gap is not as huge as it is in Africa,"... Until recently ... sanitation was not on the political agenda." (Quoted from article)
