Donors supporting countries affected by
fragility conflict and violence face a difficult trade-off.
Should they deliver urgently needed water supply
infrastructure through non-state actors or build the country
institutions that deliver water supply? This report confirms
that the current response to this trade-off relies heavily
on the direct delivery of aid by international agencies and
NGOs. This leaves country institutions in their post-crisis
enfeabled condition often locking these countries into
humanitarian aid modalities. The technical assistance in
seven countries across Africa, described in this report,
explored two entry points for (re)building country
institutions: i) strengthening sector oversight (by using
data on service delivery to better orchestrate external
support) and ii) utility reform (actively encouraging
utilities to cover their operation and maintenance costs
through consumer tariffs). Stretching these
'development' interventions into protracted crises
and early post-crisis periods opened up greater opportunity
for a double dividend: that of improving water supply
services and of state building. |
