MSWG Meeting - Stockholm WWW 2013 Management and Support Working Group Meeting

Description:

The Management and Support Thematic Group (MSTG) of the RWSN took the opportunity of the Stockholm World Water Week to organise a half day event in the morning of Thursday 5 September 2013. The meeting brought together 30 sector professionals from development partners, private sector, government and civil society, who discussed on the theme of professionalisation of rural and small town water supply and what could be done to stimulate and facilitate professionalism. The participants agreed that professionalism of water supply is key, regardless of the management model (community management, public-private partnership, etc). This implies clarity on roles and responsibilities of different actors involved in water supply (including on who is responsible and pays for what related to spare part supply, asset renewal, etc), availability of appropriate levels of human and financial resources, and clear and effective regulatory arrangements.
