Manpower development for water and sanitation programs in Africa
Safe water supplies and adequate sanitation facilities for the world population by 1990—the aims of the International Drinking Water and Sanitation Decade (1981–1990)—are impossibly high goals. The World Health Organization estimates that only 22 percent of the 70 percent rural population In developing countries have “reasonably safe” drinking water and that 15 percent have sanitary human waste disposal facilities. Even if the funds and adequate institutional capacity were available, objectives for the decade still could not be met, The greatest constraint is the lack of competent manpower: professional, technical, and semiskilled.
