Post-Construction Support and Sustainability in Community-Managed Rural Water Supply
Water projects in developing countries are inaugurated with great fanfare by the governments, lenders, and sponsors that make them possible; the projects' results, however, don't always receive the publicity of groundbreaking ceremonies....

Water projects in developing countries
are inaugurated with great fanfare by the governments,
lenders, and sponsors that make them possible; the
projects' results, however, don't always receive
the publicity of groundbreaking ceremonies. This study
reports the findings of a multi-country research project
intended to discover how such rural water supply (RWS)
systems actually perform. Its emphasis was on how
performance was affected by post-construction support (PCS)
to communities after project completion. Information was
collected from households, village water committees (VWCs),
focus groups of residents, system operators, and key
informants in rural communities in Bolivia, Ghana, and Peru.
Approximately 10,000 individuals registered their opinions.
The great majority of the systems were found to be
performing well; the factors influencing their
sustainability should help policy makers, investors, and
managers around the globe who plan rural water systems. |
