Business Connect Takeaways

The 10 worst countries for access to clean water are all located in sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of Yemen. These countries face a range of challenges, including water scarcity, poor water quality, and inadequate infrastructure.
The lack of access to clean water has severe consequences for health, education, and economic development in these countries. It disproportionately affects women and children, who are often responsible for collecting water and are at greater risk of waterborne diseases.
Addressing the water crisis in these countries requires a sustained and coordinated effort from governments, international organizations, and civil society. It requires investments in water infrastructure, improved water management practices, and increased access to safe drinking water and sanitation. It also requires a focus on the most vulnerable communities and a commitment to sustainable and equitable water use.
