| description |
One of the most pervasive development
issues related to the provision of rural water supply and
sanitation services (RWSS) is their lack of sustainability.
Assessing and measuring sustainability is a difficult task
for which there has not emerged a consensus on which
indicators to use. Unlike in the urban water supply and
sanitation where there exist universally recognized
indicators, the rural water supply and sanitation sub-sector
still lacks a universal metrics global framework. This is
because the rural water sector has a wide variety of service
levels (water points and piped systems) as well as type of
service providers (communities, governments and private
sector). The adoption of such universal framework by
adapting country monitoring systems will facilitate improved
national and global reporting and analysis. This publication
summarizes the methodology and conclusions of a study aimed
at proposing a Rural Water Metrics Framework that was based
on the findings of analyzing 40 RWSS frameworks. The
proposed Global Framework contains minimum, basic, and
advanced indicators to be tailored according to each country
context. The study finalizes presenting a total of 24
indicators as being key to monitoring RWSS and proposes
further validation and dissemination with regional and
global partners in the short term, as well as engagement
with regional platforms working on water issues for their
framework adoption in the long-term to support data sharing
and analysis. |
