KEYNOTE - Lockwood
1) Much effort has been made to improve sustainability and scale of rural water services, but challenges remain with unacceptable system failure rates of 30-40% resulting in wasted investments and negative health impacts.
2) A new Service Delivery Approach is proposed that moves beyond an infrastructure focus to consider all elements of a water service through strengthening systemic capacity, planning for the long-term lifecycle costs, and improving coordination across different levels.
3) A Service Delivery Model is described that applies this approach through clearly defining the policy, institutional, financial, and management roles from the local to national levels to establish a functional water service.

Broken pumps and pipes: Why the rural water sector has failed to deliver trul...International WaterCentre
- The rural water sector has struggled to deliver sustainable services, with 30-40% of hand pumps in Africa not functioning and 730 million still unserved.
- There has been an overemphasis on expanding coverage through infrastructure building without consideration for long-term operation and maintenance costs, leading to high failure rates.
- A new service delivery approach is needed that focuses on establishing permanent water services through strengthened sector policies, cost planning, oversight, capacity support, and long-term funding commitments rather than just expanding coverage.Broken pumps and pipes
The document discusses challenges in delivering sustainable rural water services. While coverage has increased significantly with tens of billions invested, about 730 million remain unserved and 30-40% of handpumps in Africa are non-functional. Failure rates are unacceptable and investments are largely wasted. The focus needs to shift from initial construction to establishing long-term water services through strengthening sectors, appropriate financing, management models, and support for operations and maintenance. National governments, donors, NGOs and communities must work together to establish permanent water services.
Sustainable Services at Scale - Triple-S
The document summarizes the Triple-S research project, which aims to contribute to a shift towards sustainable service delivery approaches for rural water supply in developing countries. It discusses key aspects of a service delivery approach, including clear policies and roles, planning, community participation, appropriate technology, and long-term support. The project involves action research in Ghana and Uganda, as well as studies in 13 other countries, to identify factors that promote or constrain services at scale. Findings indicate countries progress along a continuum from infrastructure implementation to full service delivery approaches, with gaps in areas like asset management, life-cycle cost planning, and regulation.
Sustainable services at scale
Triple-S and WASHCost are 6-year research projects focused on sustainable water and sanitation services at scale in rural Africa. They seek to shift from an infrastructure focus to a service delivery approach through action research, documentation, and partnerships. While coverage has increased since 1990, failure rates remain high due to a lack of funding for operations and maintenance. The projects aim to strengthen sector capacity for learning, innovation, and policy development through approaches like clarifying asset ownership, planning for lifecycle costs, and monitoring service delivery rather than just access.

Aggregationmodule 0807
Aggregation involves grouping multiple municipalities into a single administrative structure for providing services like water supply and sanitation. There are various aggregation models that can be tailored to local needs. The aggregation process typically involves preparatory, analytical, and implementation phases to assess costs and benefits, identify suitable groupings, and develop an aggregation plan. Key considerations for aggregation include defining the appropriate scale, scope, and process based on political support and balancing the interests of participating municipalities. Potential benefits include improved efficiency, professional capacity, and cost sharing, though the politics of aggregation must be carefully managed.

KEYNOTE - Kabirizi - Harmonisation
Harmonization, coordination, and alignment are key principles of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness aimed at improving aid effectiveness and sustainable services. Harmonization and alignment should occur at both the national and global levels, while coordination applies at all levels. Recipient governments and donors should have the same objectives and approaches through mechanisms like sector-wide approaches. While these principles are important, their practical implementation needs deeper understanding and customization to balance principles with experimentation, innovation, and linkages to other elements like service delivery, financing, and governance.

The document proposes a "Twin Tap Scheme" to provide clean drinking water and sanitation facilities in rural Indian villages. The key aspects of the proposal are:
1) Each household would receive two water taps - one for drinking water and one for other uses like washing.
2) The local governing body and community would be responsible for constructing toilets, a community water tank, and common washing areas. Households or a labor program would provide manual labor.
3) The government would bear the costs of water pipelines, supply, and sewage systems. Households would help with construction labor.
4) The goal is to achieve the Millennium Development Goals of safe drinking water,

Sector planning-strategies-and-their-implementation-water for all
Here are a few key things I would consider taking forward based on the GLAAS results and discussion:
- Schedule time at our next senior management/country team meeting to review and discuss the GLAAS results for our country/countries in more depth. This will help identify strengths and gaps to inform our strategy and planning.
- Review our country strategy and annual workplans to ensure they are adequately addressing any gaps or weaknesses identified through GLAAS related to strengthening national systems. This may require revising objectives, targets or activities.
- Engage with other stakeholders like the government through our existing coordination platforms to discuss GLAAS findings and explore opportunities for collaboration to strengthen areas like policy development, planning, monitoring and finance mobil
Sustainable services at scale
The document discusses two research projects - Triple-S and WASHCost - that aim to tackle challenges of sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) service delivery. While coverage has increased from 1990-2008, failure rates remain high due to a focus on infrastructure over lifetime costs and sector capacity. The Triple-S approach analyzes sector problems collectively, identifies solutions, and applies learning at scale through action research and strengthening sector capacity at all levels.
Session Harmonization 2c - Tamene Chaka
This document discusses rural water service delivery models in Ethiopia. It finds that the main models are self-supply and community management by water committees, with municipalities managing small towns. The key challenges are lack of post-construction support, weak community management, and high non-functionality rates. Harmonizing approaches across organizations could improve efficiency and sustainability by reducing costs, standardizing practices, and enabling joint monitoring and planning. However, overcoming institutional barriers and differing donor requirements would be challenging. The report recommends awareness-raising, leadership, capacity building, pilot-testing, and risk management to facilitate effective harmonization.
Sida Wsp Meeting Edits Gpo + Ys 18 August 2009
1) Basic service delivery is most effectively managed at a decentralized level, with water and sanitation services being highly visible examples.

100428 Notes from ChangeUp South East Meeting, April 2010
This document outlines the agenda and notes for a meeting of South East Region ChangeUp Coordinators/Capacitybuilders. The programme includes discussions on regional business, social networking, consortium sustainability, and future planning. Notes from a previous meeting indicate that most consortia have achieved coordination and strategic planning through activities like developing improvement plans and applying for project funding. Many have also achieved partnership working. Some consortia have achieved outcomes like reconfiguration of support services and better provision for equalities. Very few have achieved long-term financial sustainability. There were also some unintended outcomes like increased public sector engagement by consortia.

The document discusses various approaches to managing water supply services after initial construction. It notes that solely relying on hoping facilities continue working ("build it and leave it") or on community-based management is insufficient to achieve permanent service. Effective management requires real user demand, external support, financing of recurrent costs, skills and tools for maintenance, and an enabling policy environment. There is no single best solution, as different contexts require identifying all tasks and stakeholders best placed to ensure long-term service delivery.

Pakistan and SDG.pptx
Pakistan has made progress towards improving services through the adoption of MDGs. The document discusses the shift from MDGs to SDGs, focusing on goals for access to drinking water. While MDG 7 targeted halving the proportion of people without access to water, SDG 6 aims for universal access to safe drinking water by 2030. This represents a shift from access alone to ensuring water quality. However, achieving higher quality faces barriers including difficulties monitoring quality, lack of technical skills, inadequate cost recovery systems, and insufficient research capacity. The document advocates for addressing psychological, infrastructural, political/managerial, and economic barriers to improve quality of life in poor communities.

Self-Supply made simple
The document summarizes ways that households in sub-Saharan Africa develop self-supplied water sources through methods like wells, rainwater harvesting, and springs. It discusses how households incrementally improve their water systems over time. It also outlines three ways self-supply can be supported: 1) through technical advisory services and guidelines, 2) by strengthening the private sector, and 3) with policies and budgets to aid households in construction and supply improvement. The document promotes a new book on self-supply and filling gaps in public water provision.
Self-Supply made simple
Self-supply refers to households taking responsibility for developing their own water sources through various methods like digging wells, collecting rainwater, or protecting springs. This document outlines the key reasons households pursue self-supply due to issues with public water systems like long wait times. It then describes common self-supply methods in Sub-Saharan Africa like family wells and rainwater harvesting. The document emphasizes that self-supply should be supported through technical advice, private sector development, and policies that help households improve their water sources over time.

Conflict sensitivity support and tools
Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS) Conflict sensitivity support and tools. Referenced in the IRC WASH debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?" which took place 20 November 2019 in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in Mali
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.
A joint presentation by Afou Chantal Bengaly (Wetlands International) and Ele Jan Saaf (SaafConsult) at the WASH Debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?", in The Hague, the Netherlands on 20 November 2019.
WASH systems strengthening in the Central African Republic
Water for Good (WFG) works exclusively in the Central African Republic (CAR), a country facing extreme economic fragility. The road blocks set up by the non-state armed groups, which control nearly 80% of the territory, have a significant impact on the country's economy. WFG has been operating in the CAR since 2004, initially as a borehole drilling organisation, and shortly thereafter, as a handpump maintenance service provider. It has created a circuit rider approach for preventative maintenance and uses an electronic reporting system.
After joining Agenda for Change in 2017, WFG opted to adopt IRC's systems approach to go beyond their preventative maintenance programme and work towards universal, sustainable access. WFG opted to pilot a district-wide approach in Mambéré-Kadéi, while maintaining periodic preventative maintenance in other prefectures. In the pilot area, WFG focused on the following system blocking blocks: infrastructure, monitoring, finance, planning and institutions. At the same time it is helping to build up regional capacity for systems strengthening.
In conclusion, WFG believes it is possible to strengthen systems in fragile states, thanks to their organisation's long-term presence in CAR, their ability to plug short-term projects into the larger roadmap, and their ability to work with systems champions. The intention is not to build parallel systems, but to champion a roadmap that is both supported by all WASH stakeholders and adequately funded.

Sanitation and hygiene sector trends
This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.
Social accountability : civil society and the human rights to water and sanit...
The Watershed programme supports civil society organisations (CSOs) both on normative content (and claiming their rights if not yet met) as well as supporting CSOs to engage in the procedural part/principles of human rights to water and sanitation. The social accountability approach used by Watershed is based on the principles of access to information, non-discrimination, accountability and participation. The role of CSOs includes holding government to account for their obligation to ensure that everyone’s human rights are fulfilled, protected and respected. For this Watershed uses the Social Accountability Model developed by Water Witness International. Conclusions and reflection are provided on how this model has been used in Kenya and Bangladesh.

Voice for Change Partnership : roles of CSOs in achieving SDG6
The Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) programme is a capacity development programme for civil society organizations (CSOs) in six countries across four areas including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). VCP is a partnership between DGIS, SNV, IFPRI (International Food Policy and Research Institute) and CSOs. The capacity development activities focus on evidence creation and dissemination, and evidence-based advocacy. In Kenya, the V4CP WASH component supports CSO advocacy for improved stakeholder participation and coordination, increased budget allocation, and influencing policy review and development. CSOs used evidence from GIS mapping and the water testing to convince county governments to take action to improve sanitation. The data collected was also used to advocate for increased sanitation investment participatory budgeting. The presentation concludes with challenges and lessons learnt from the Kenya the V4CP WASH component. Presented at the WASH Debate “Dialogue and dissent: Looking at the role of civil society in achieving SDG 6 by 2030”, in The Hague, the Netherlands on 26 June 2019.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Recently uploaded (20)
