Basic facts and figures: all Africa
Despite Africa’s rapid urbanization trends, rural populations are also growing quickly. By 2030, an estimated 530 million people will be living in rural areas (Worldometers 2019). In many cases, migration to urban areas and peri-urban areas diverts the focus of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) development in rural areas to addressing the surging needs of urban and peri-urban areas, resulting in disparities in access to water and sanitation between these areas.
