Papua New Guinea has a population of 6.5 million people, with 85% living in rural areas where access to improved water and sanitation is only 20% and 15% respectively. The RWSSP project aimed to improve health through increasing access to water and promoting improved hygiene and sanitation over 5 years with €15.6 million in funding from the EU. The project benefited 600 communities and 270,000 people across 19 of Papua New Guinea's 20 provinces. Sustainability of services faces challenges including physical difficulties, lack of funds, limited service provider capacity, divided government responsibility, and heterogeneous communities.

Maasin city access to safely manage drinking water-sglg
Maasin City, Philippines has a population of 91,120 people across 70 barangays. Approximately 50.30% of households, or 10,047 households, have access to Level III water services provided either by local governments or private operators. Level III indicates a piped distribution system and household taps. Privately-owned Prime Water serves 6,884 households, or 34.46% of the total. Access to Level II (piped distribution but communal taps) is available to 28.85% of households, while 16.77% access Level I (unimproved sources like wells). The document calls for establishing an independent team to audit water sources and improve baseline data on water access and safety across all levels of service
Water Governance in African Cities, UCLG Africa
The document discusses challenges facing urbanization and water governance in African cities. By 2030-2040, 1 billion people will live in urban areas in Africa, comprising 25% of the world's population. Rapid urbanization at 4% annually will cause the urban population to triple by 2050 and major cities already contribute $700 billion to Africa's GDP. However, climate change risks like increasing arid land and famine threaten 75% of Africa's population by 2080 as the continent utilizes less than 5% of its water resources, 340 million lack access to safe drinking water, and 1 million die annually from waterborne diseases. To address these challenges, the document calls for a paradigm shift placing local governments at the heart of crisis resolution
2 Do Close Elections Benefit the Poor, Johanna Koehler
This document summarizes a presentation on factors that influence water service policy choices in Kenya's devolved system of governance. The presentation finds that counties with closer elections have a higher sense of responsibility for water services to fulfill their constitutional obligations. However, counties with greater socio-climatic risks and lower baseline access also respond with high responsibility to address needs. Fair tariffs and provision levels vary across counties and between urban and rural areas, with poorer counties generally having higher tariffs. Decentralization risks reinforcing regional disparities, so adapting strategies to local political and socioeconomic contexts is important for achieving water access goals.

The document discusses food systems and policy. It provides diagrams of the food system cycle and how various problems like soil degradation, pollution, and food deserts negatively impact the system. It also discusses how food policy councils in various cities bring together stakeholders to address issues, raise awareness, and formulate local solutions to problems in the food system. The document suggests ways social media and individual actions can support improving the food system, such as volunteering with organizations, growing your own food, and asking questions about food sources and marketing.

Water is essential for sustainable development and impacts billions through food/energy security and health. Unsustainable growth like rising water demand strains resources and access inequities persist. Water enables social, economic, and environmental development by reducing poverty, fueling economies, and supporting ecosystems. Key issues include WASH, urbanization, food/agriculture, energy, industry, and climate change. Progress has been made in water access but more is needed to achieve sustainability by 2030.
Safe water for all - Gemma Bulos
The document discusses how investing in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs can save $150 billion in healthcare costs and losses by equalizing water access, nourishing communities, and unifying stakeholders. It outlines how local governments, water service agencies, non-governmental organizations, and funders can work together through WASH action planning to institutionalize and prioritize WASH, professionalize services, infuse the local economy, and achieve the vision of universal access to safe water and sanitation for all.

State of urban water supply
Growth of urban populations and new property developments, coupled with incidences of water mismanagement, below-average rainfall patterns and droughts.
Alan Nicol Keynote Speech
The document discusses two perspectives on water supply and sanitation in Africa: optimism and pessimism. It notes that while coverage is increasing, it is doing so incrementally and not through major leaps. A pessimistic view is suggested for sub-Saharan Africa where population growth is outpacing improvements and sustainability remains a challenge. However, some case studies from Ethiopia show positive economic and poverty impacts from improved access to water and sanitation, though benefits are complex and non-linear. The conclusion calls for a "pessoptimistic" view that acknowledges challenges but focuses on continued improvements to current situations through community-driven models and downward accountability.

Cpwf resilience twg volta intro
The document summarizes key features and challenges of water management in the Volta River Basin in West Africa. It covers the basin area and countries, population and poverty levels, rainfall and water availability, reservoirs and land use, and major challenges including rainfall variability, land degradation, poor infrastructure, and weak institutions. It then describes the CPWF's response which is a project aiming to improve integrated management of rainwater and small reservoirs to contribute to poverty reduction and livelihood resilience while considering upstream and downstream water users and ecosystems. It raises questions for discussion around measuring and improving resilience at different scales in the social-ecological system.
Position paper water governance
The document discusses ensuring access to safe water for vulnerable populations in the Philippines. It notes that while the human right to water has been recognized, goals to expand access by 2025 will not be achieved in many countries. Local government units in the Philippines are responsible for water supply but often lack funds for infrastructure investments. The document recommends that municipalities establish water committees, integrate water access plans into development plans, and allocate dedicated budgets to improve governance, participation, and water affordability, especially for vulnerable groups.
DataBrief No.19: Differences in Hospitalization Rates by Residence
Community-residing seniors with moderate or severe disabilities that require assistance with two or more activities of daily living have higher rates of hospitalization than similar seniors living in nursing homes. Specifically, 21% of community-residing seniors with disabilities had two or more hospital stays in 2006 compared to 12% of nursing home residents. This difference may be due to better care management and monitoring of conditions in nursing homes, which helps prevent conditions from worsening to the point of needing acute hospital care. Informal community caregivers often lack the same level of support for managing seniors' health needs.

This document summarizes a study assessing the feasibility of a Green Water Credit scheme in Malawi to address degradation of the Shire River Basin. The study estimated the economic costs of degradation to key stakeholders like the electricity company and found high costs from issues like siltation reducing power generation. A survey found that over half of electricity consumers were willing to pay extra in their bills to help finance credits to farmers for sustainable land management practices to protect the river basin. The study concludes the credit scheme shows potential to engage local resources if properly designed and governed.

The document summarizes the impacts of South Sudan's deteriorating economic situation on access to safe water in Juba. Public water infrastructure is limited, so private vendors supply most water via trucking, bottling, and bicycle delivery. However, rising costs have reduced production and increased prices. Vendors are delivering less frequently and in smaller quantities to outlying areas. Households can only afford half as much water for drinking and cooking, risking disease outbreaks. Urgent interventions are needed to support production and delivery of affordable, safe water to vulnerable communities.

Water governance-in-cities
The document discusses water governance challenges in cities from an OECD perspective. It finds that ageing infrastructure and increasing demands on water systems are stressing urban water management. Survey results from over 40 cities show issues like high water losses, inadequate wastewater treatment, and funding/capacity gaps. Principles for better water governance emphasize stakeholder engagement, metropolitan coordination, and rural-urban partnerships to promote efficient governance. The OECD is developing guidelines to help cities address challenges through integrated policy responses.
Moving towards Functional Rural Water Supply Services
This document discusses strategies for improving the functionality of rural water supply services in developing countries. It finds that 25-60% of water schemes are non-functional due to lack of maintenance and asset management. Promising solutions discussed include post-construction support through local mechanic associations in Uganda, which achieved up to 96% functionality; putting functionality on national agendas in Nepal and Tanzania; and water point mapping for accountability in Tanzania, Ethiopia and Kenya. The lessons are that functionality must be prioritized politically, local examples combined with national commitment, and evidence-based stakeholder dialogue used to improve accountability for performance.

Changing the narrative: from counting infrastructure to monitoring servicesInternational WaterCentre
This document discusses moving from solely monitoring infrastructure coverage to monitoring actual water services delivered. It outlines challenges with only measuring coverage and functionality. It proposes monitoring three aspects of water services: 1) the services provided, 2) the service providers, and 3) the service authorities. Specific metrics for each are described, including reliability, affordability, quantity, and quality of services. Monitoring data can be used to inform planning and target improvements to ensure water services last.Towards Sustainability for Urban Sanitation
1. The document compares sanitation options for the city of Can Tho, Vietnam, evaluating centralised and decentralised systems based on life-cycle costs, resource implications, and sustainability.
2. It finds that a combination centralised/decentralised system has the lowest long-term costs and performs best across sustainability factors. Resource recovery through fertiliser production from sanitation systems can offset maintenance costs.
3. The study demonstrates the importance of considering full life-cycle costs, resources, and sustainability when selecting urban sanitation systems. A systematic framework is needed to guide such complex decisions.
WaterPoint Mapping
Water point mapping is a tool for monitoring the distribution and functionality status of water points. It provides a rapid visualization of inventory and monitoring data on maps along with population and administrative boundary data. Water point mapping fits within the water sector by providing baseline data for local planning and management, and sector reviews. It helps highlight issues of access, functionality and equity. Several organizations have developed water point mapping tools using web databases, mobile phone updates, or spreadsheet-based maps. Lessons learned indicate the importance of keeping data updated and ensuring local ownership of data and tools that use existing local capacities and updating networks.

Community water safety planning in Nepal informed broader rollout. A pilot project developed tools for communities to assess risks to water sources, monitor water quality, and sustain plans. Workshops engaged communities to create water safety plans for their system. Plans used mapping of catchment hazards, household checklists for self-assessment, and community-led water testing. Ongoing support helped communities adapt plans to make safe drinking water management sustainable.Climate Adaptation Through Sustainable Urban Development
The document discusses a CSIRO Alliance project to promote climate adaptation through sustainable urban development in Australia and Southeast Asia. The project aims to (1) inform investment decisions on water infrastructure by linking climate impact analysis to urban planning, (2) build local capacity for integrated planning of climate-adapted water infrastructure, and (3) guide broader AusAID investments across urban challenges in the region. The research will provide knowledge of climate impacts on water resources, develop options for urban water services under climate scenarios, and support revised development plans and prioritized investments in sustainable water infrastructure.
Understanding Sanitation Options in Challenging Environments
This document discusses sanitation challenges in difficult environments and potential solutions. It notes that over 16 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Lao PDR and the Philippines live in areas that make conventional sanitation difficult, such as along rivers, coasts, swamps or flood plains. Common sanitation issues in these areas include poor sanitation infrastructure, low sanitation priority from communities and governments, and higher costs for solutions. The document reviews some existing sanitation options for different challenging area types and emphasizes the need for tailored solutions, community understanding, and monitoring to disseminate effective approaches.
Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), Origin, Spread and Scaling up
This document summarizes a presentation about Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS). It describes how CLTS originated in Bangladesh in 1999-2000 and has since spread to over 40 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. CLTS is a community-led approach to achieving total sanitation that does not rely on subsidies or top-down directives. It uses participatory methods like community mapping to build awareness of open defecation issues and empower communities to develop their own solutions. The challenges of scaling up and sustaining CLTS efforts long-term are also discussed.
Long-term sustainability monitoring in Nepal
NEWAH is a WaterAid Nepal partner NGO with over 20 years of experience focused on WASH service delivery and increasing advocacy in rural Nepal. It has a strong local and national reputation. NEWAH's work includes post-construction follow up of completed projects for two additional years to ensure sustainability, as well as establishing federations of WASH users to act as a voice for policy advocacy and joint monitoring. NEWAH and WaterAid Nepal's monitoring approach also involves long term sustainability monitoring of projects at least five years after completion to learn lessons that can improve future project design.
Optimising community management of rural water services
This document discusses community management of rural water supply systems and the need for a paradigm shift from solely relying on community management to a model of "community management plus" external support. It outlines the common system of establishing infrastructure and handing it over to local water user committees for management. However, field realities often show lip service is paid to community participation principles and technology failures exceed local repair capacity. A new approach is needed where external support enhances committee performance, recognizes threats, and plans for more sustainable professionalized service delivery models in the future.
Designing for Sustainable Sanitation: floating toilet case study
The document discusses a case study of designing sustainable sanitation options for floating communities in Cambodia. Engineers Without Borders and Live and Learn Environmental Education partnered to develop affordable toilet designs using local materials that treat waste onsite through processes like desiccation and storage. Their goal was to create culturally appropriate and sustainable sanitation solutions. One design they trialed was a three-hole urine diversion desiccation toilet that collects feces dry and stores it with ash for 6 months while diverting urine and wash water. They also built a floating waste management station to trial different treatment methods and integrate waste processing with energy and food production, such as a floating garden trial. Their end goal is a commercially sustainable sanitation system for floating and

Ongoing performance and best practices of Decentralised Wastewater Treatment ...International WaterCentre
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) provide benefits for sanitation in rapidly urbanizing Kathmandu, Nepal, where centralized treatment is lacking. Existing DEWATS successfully treat wastewater from offices, hospitals, private houses, schools, and communities with locally available materials and low operation skills. Key design improvements include larger inlet chambers, channel inlets instead of pipes, and easier access for sludge removal. Proper construction, regular maintenance, and pre-determined management and funding are essential for long-term system performance and cost-effectiveness. DEWATS show potential as a sustainable sanitation option, but most cost-effective designs and media require further study.Development and urban infrastructure: a sustainability perspective
This document discusses the need for a more sustainable approach to urban infrastructure and water management. It argues that current approaches are environmentally and economically unsustainable. A new approach should focus on demand-side analysis and water use, be cost-effective and adaptable, meet actual needs through service provision rather than just supply, and be equitable and environmentally sustainable. This requires understanding current water use through end-use studies to accurately forecast demand and plan integrated supply and demand options. Developing cities have an opportunity to implement more sustainable fourth generation systems from the start.

“the use of water that supports the ability of human society to endure and flourish into the indefinite future without undermining the integrity of the hydrological cycle or the ecological systems that depend on it.”
Sounds good.
What’s Gleick’s own critique of this?
“By itself, however, it is too general to offer guidance for water managers, planners, and scientists.
To make decisions about how to allocate and use water resources, other goals and criteria need to be identified.”
We Start with Peter Gleick’s Take on Water Sustainability

The key causes identified include unreliable rainfall damaging rural livelihoods and increasing urban migration, land scarcity in rural areas, and poverty among slum dwellers. Proposed solutions include increasing literacy and hygiene education, empowering rural economies, providing low-cost housing and sanitation, and utilizing technologies like solar distillation and water filtration. The implementation of these solutions is expected to raise literacy rates, increase awareness through NGO efforts, boost employment, and help more countries develop. Challenges remain around ensuring access to water for all given issues like pollution, inefficient distribution, and contamination.
Helvetas: Water for Food
Public-Private Partnerships and Multi Stakeholder Strategies -- Food production will have to meet the needs of two billion additional people by 2050. Besides existing stresses of inequity in resource use and resource depletion, climate variability and change are additional stressors. These changes put at risk both local food security and global commodity markets. Large-scale applications of improved water use and management approaches are needed to build resilience in agricultural production systems. HELVETAS is implementing ‘Water for Food’ programs worldwide to optimize water consumption in agricultural production. It partners with public and private sector stakeholders to raise awareness and build capacities on efficient water management and to enhance buyers’ demand and support for water saving approaches. Melchior Lengsfeld and Rupa Mukerji will share HELVETAS’ innovative push-pull-policy program for the two key crops of rice and cotton, which account for over 30% of global irrigation water consumption. HELVETAS (www.helvetas.org), the leading Switzerland-based international development NGO, has 60 years of experience in rural economy, water & infrastructure, environment & climate change, and governance & peace. HELVETAS is working in 32 countries to fight rural poverty. In 2015, the 501(c)(3) HELVETAS USA was launched to strengthen relationships with key US partners.
Institutional Reform and Capacity Building Project for Sierra Leone
Decentralization was pursued as an entry point for governance reform in Sierra Leone following its civil war. The World Bank and other donors provided substantial funding to support decentralization efforts through capacity building and projects. Decentralization was seen as a way to address the root causes of conflict by bringing governance closer to citizens and resources were allocated in a more equitable manner across districts. Rapid Results Initiatives were implemented by local councils and sectors to generate quick wins and build momentum for decentralization. While progress was made in some areas, fully stimulating citizen demand for good governance and political participation remained challenging.

Wsp gender-water-sanitation(3)
The document discusses mainstreaming gender in water and sanitation policy. It describes how approaches to gender in policy have evolved from a welfare model focused on women's domestic roles, to a women in development model targeting women, to current gender and development models seeking to transform unequal gender relations and achieve equality. For water and sanitation policy, this means going beyond access to services to target economic equality, equal participation in decision making, and equality in business opportunities in the sector. Conducting gender analyses and audits can help inform gender-sensitive policy formulation.
WATER AND SANITATION PROGRAM
Gender in Water and Sanitation • Common societal practices that determine men as property owners, heads of households and main decision makers in the public sphere often result in marginalizing the views and preferences of women and girls. • Yet, sector studies have shown that equal involvement of men and women is positively correlated with improved sustainability of water supplies (Narayan, 1995), as well as improved transparency and governance in management. Gender analysis in water and sanitation development can ensure that projects are actually used by situating services where access is inclusive to all, and not disadvantage women or users of different ethnic groups or castes. ©WSP Women and girls are most often the primary users, providers and managers of water in their households. Introduction Gender is a concept that refers to socially constructed roles, behavior, activities and attributes that a particular society considers appropriate and ascribes to men and women (WHO, 2009). These distinct roles and the relations between them may give rise to gender inequalities where one group is systematically favored and holds advantages over another. Inequality in the position of men and women can and has worked against societies’ progress as a whole. One study argues that the fact that women in Kenya during the 1960– 92 period did not, on average, complete as many years of schooling as men, accounts for almost one percentage point difference between the long-term growth potential of Kenya and that of high performing Asian economies (Ellis et al, 2007). Global water and sanitation practitionersi have recognized the importance of incorporating a gender perspective based among others, the following observations: • Women and girls are most often the primary users, providers and managers of water in their households and are the guardians of household hygiene.
VV2013
This document discusses solutions for providing clean drinking water and proper sanitation in India. It notes that over one third of India's population lacks access to basic sanitation and safe drinking water. Some of the key issues discussed include depleting groundwater resources, inadequate water supply even where infrastructure exists, and health impacts of unsafe water and lack of sanitation. Proposed solutions focus on innovative technologies for water supply and sanitation, including systems for emptying and treating waste from non-sewered areas. Community-led approaches, public-private partnerships, and generating demand for sanitation services are also recommended. The document advocates for institutional and policy reforms to support expanded access to clean water and sanitation.
Drinking water-quality-rural-india
Water quality is a major issue for rural populations in India. While access to drinking water has improved, the quality is often poor, resulting in health problems. Over 700 million rural Indians get their water from over 1.4 million sources, but arsenic, fluoride, and other contaminants affect many habitations. Providing safe drinking water presents enormous challenges given India's diversity and development gaps. Community involvement is key to maintaining water quality through monitoring, hygiene practices, and simple remedial measures.

The Value of Measuring the Health of Our Rivers
The document discusses the importance of monitoring river health by selecting meaningful indicators. Key points include:
- River health depends on human values and can be assessed similarly to human health.
- Rivers face threats from pollution, loss of floodplains, and dams that block flows.
- Monitoring is important to protect environmental assets like biodiversity and drinking water.
- Effective monitoring requires clear objectives, indicators linked to threats, conceptual models, river classification, and reporting to guide management actions.
Water Resources Planning and Governance in Highly Contested Rivers
This document summarizes key issues and lessons from water resources planning and governance in highly contested river basins:
1. In heavily used river basins, it is no longer possible to allocate water to meet all demands. Water resources planning must shift to view water as integrated into the economy, not separate from it.
2. Social and cultural values must be understood and incorporated into the planning process, as people's values matter greatly in contested basins.
3. Environmental protection arguments require strong evidence when water development offers clear social and economic benefits, especially in developing countries. Good science and monitoring are needed.
4. Challenges of water, food, and energy security are intricately linked and must

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
