Abstract

Development assistance for rural water supply over the last two decades or more has by and large failed to provide reliable and sustainable services at scale. There is a need to shift from supporting one-off projects to a comprehensive service delivery approach, which accounts for the full life-cycle costs of the service and invests in water sector capacity at all levels, not only in physical infrastructure.
