During 5 to 23 November 2012, the Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) will host a three-week e-discussion on the realities of accelerating self supply.
Published on: 25/10/2012
Millions of people, particularly in remote rural areas, are still without access to water supplies. There are also people who want an improved level of water service that is closer to their homes. Households invest money to support their own water supplies. Through incremental steps, many people reach a level of service which can be defined as an improved water source. In some countries self supply is endorsed as an official strategy for water supply. But as with many development initiatives, self supply is context specific. What is the potential of self supply in regions where it is not yet practiced, for instance in some remote rural areas? What is needed to realise self supply’s full potential?
During 5 to 23 November 2012, the Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) will host a three-week e-discussion on the realities of accelerating self supply. The e-discussion is open to anyone from national governments, local governments, private sector, NGOs, as well as other networks and funding organisations including international organisation such as UNICEF. Register by 2 November 2012 on the RWSN website. If you are not a member of RWSN but are interested in the topic, you are encouraged to still join. If you have problems joining please contact bertha.camacho@skat.ch
