The document discusses models for providing post-construction support to community-based management of water services in rural Colombia. It finds that while the national government and some local municipalities provide some support, it is limited in scale and impact. Other models have emerged from civil society organizations and private sector actors to fill gaps, but are limited in geographical reach. It concludes there is a need for a coordinated, programmatic approach from government that recognizes local support mechanisms and takes a gradual approach to strengthening community-based organizations' management capacity.
