| Summary: | In 2004, a field review commissioned by
the World Bank found that half of the piped rural water
supply systems in Rwanda were nonfunctional due to poor
management and poor cost recovery. In response, the
government shifted to a public-private partnership (PPP)
management model. As of 2010, 235 rural water supply
systems, 28 percent of the 847 systems in the country, are
managed under PPPs serving one million people. This smart
lesson shares what the World Bank and Water and Sanitation
Program (WSP) learned in support of Rwanda's remarkable
progress, including using best practices to make the case
for reform; fostering ownership, simplicity, and flexibility
of design; using peer-to-peer learning; and evaluating
factors for success. |
