A UK House of Lords committee has sent a scathing letter to the European Commission in August 2013, accusing it of 'culpable waste' in its water and sanitation projects in sub-Saharan Africa. The letter from Lord Boswell, chairman of the House of Lords EU select committee, drew on a report from the European Court of Auditors (ECA) that found serious flaws in the delivery of EU aid to this sector: fewer than half of the projects met beneficiaries' needs and most of the projects were not sustainable in the medium or long term. |
