Sustainable Community Management of Urban Water and Sanitation Schemes (A Training Manual)

The aim of this capacity building programme is to improve the efficiency and positive impact of urban, community-managed water and sanitation schemes. The manual covers technical issues such as operations and maintenance activities, but also has a strong focus on institutional, managerial and financial issues. The seven modules are meant to equip communities with the tools to eliminate or reduce the major constraints in managing infrastructure and providing services. The manual also aims to clarify the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders. It was written for a development setting but still contains relevant training methodologies and information in humanitarian crises situations.
