Abstract:
In Mali, water services in rural areas and small towns are fragmented and decentralised. Officially under the responsibility of municipalities, water services are provided by a multitude of small independent service operators that largely elude any form of control. While regulation in urban areas is ensured by a regulatory commission, regulation outside urban areas is not clearly assigned to any institution but is considered as being a task of the National Direction for Water (DNH). To better monitor water services, the DNH created a system called STEFI (Suivi Technique et Financier), which currently covers 30 % of existing mini-networks. While not being officially granted with a regulatory mandate, the STEFI system exercises some regulatory functions that could be strengthened and expanded.
