JMP - guided tour: a regional and country picture

A regional picture

If one takes a look at one region such as sub-Saharan Africa in 2004, the percentage of people served with improved water supply amounts to 49% of the total population.
		These figures vary a lot from one country to another as the map on the left shows... but they also differ within each country: The situation is often much worse in rural areas, where coverage is on average only 36% compared with 82% coverage in urban areas.

		Zooming in on a country: Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC)

		The differences between urban and rural areas are well illustrated in the bar chart below where water supply coverage is illustrated.
