'Supporting Rural Water Supply: Moving towards a Service Delivery Approach'
A new book, co-authored by Aguaconsult's Director Harold Lockwood and Stef Smits of IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, has been published by Practical Action Publishing.
"Supporting Rural Water Supply takes a critical look and asks why we have been unable to provide a sustainable water service to rural people for so long? What are the critical success factors in the areas where there has been good progress? How can we support the adoption of a service delivery approach to rural water supply – one that moves beyond implementing infrastructure projects to delivering a reliable and indefinite service?
This book brings together findings from 13 country studies which were carried out as part of a global learning initiative – Sustainable Services at Scale, or Triple-S. It offers insights into ways countries and individual organisations can move towards a service delivery approach step by step and is a valuable resource for professionals in government departments, NGOs, development banks, and donor agencies who are interested in improving the design and implementation of rural water supply programmes and the benefits from investments."
The book is available to purchase here, or can be downloaded in pdf format here.
