| Date: | 3 July 2002 |
| Description: | Nearly three-quarters of the world's poor live in rural areas, and a large part of this population does not have access to clean water and safe sanitation facilities. The World Bank has become an important investor in rural and small town water supply and sanitation and currently funds 21 stand-alone projects with loan amounts totaling $807 million, with another 15 projects in the pipeline. Provisions also appear in many multi-sectoral projects, including rural development, water sector reform and social fund projects.
