STOCKHOLM (AlertNet) - Barbara Frost, chief executive of WaterAid spoke to AlertNet at World Water Week in Stockholm where 2,600 policymakers and humanitarians are meeting to discuss strains on the water infrastructure in a rapidly urbanising world.
By 2020, at current rates of growth, at least half the African urban population will be living in informal settlements in chronic water and sanitation poverty, WaterAid reports.
The agency is working with utility companies to enable affordable access to water and sanitation in poor urban areas, to try and reach the poorest communities.
