Town Water Supply and Sanitation : Challenges, Solutions, and Guidelines
In Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the number of towns and their populations are expected to double within 15 years, and again within 30. Already, one-third of Africans and Asians live in towns of 2,000 to 200,000 people. This rapid urbanization m...

| description |
In Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the
number of towns and their populations are expected to double
within 15 years, and again within 30. Already, one-third of
Africans and Asians live in towns of 2,000 to 200,000
people. This rapid urbanization makes improving water supply
and sanitation services (WSS) central to economic growth and
to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. But
sustainable provision of these services, particularly in
small towns, presents challenges that may require new
approaches to planning, financing, and service delivery.
This guidance note on the principles of town WSS provides a
methodology for setting targets and mobilizing resources to
achieve these targets. The key activities proposed include:
clarifying key actors' roles, consulting with users,
defining service levels based on user preferences and
willingness to pay, confirming investment sources, phasing
in investments incrementally to reflect demand, analyzing
costs and revenues realistically, identifying professional
support, establishing systems for monitoring progress, and
allowing for periodic review and revision of the business plan. |
