Designing water supply and sanitation projects to meet demand in rural and peri-urban communities
Book 3. Ensuring the participation of the poor

Description:

This booklet is designed to be read in conjunction with Book 1 (Concept and Practice) and Book 2 (Additional Notes for Policy Makers and Planners) of the Designing to Meet Demand guidelines. Whilst these describe a number of practical approaches, this third booklet focuses on a single albeit very important issue: how to ensure the participation of the poor within a demand responsive approach. If this is not done, those in most need of improved services stand every chance of being further marginalised.

Ensuring the Participation of the Poor has been written for a wide audience that includes practitioners, planners and policy makers serving in government, NGOs and the private sector. It is designed to be both accessible and informative. Wherever appropriate, reference has been made to information presented in Books 1 and 2 of the Guidelines.
