This study presents an analytical ‘picture’ of the rural water sub-sector in Mozambique, describing the legal framework, mechanisms for coordination, harmonisation, funding, accountability, participation and supervision. The study was commissioned for the Sustainable Services at Scale, or Triple-S, initiative, which aims to contribute to improving the sustainability of global rural water supply. According to the general population census carried out in 2007, Mozambique had a total population of 20,226,296, 70.2% of whom live in rural areas, with a water coverage rate of only 54%.
