Abstract | This working paper presents the findings from a WatSAn & PRPs research project, investigating both policy and practice issues surrounding the implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers from water sector perspective. Progress of implementation in terms of WSS objectives through in-depth case studies in three countries (Zambia, Malawi and Uganda) is reviewed. The case studies examined the extent to which promises made in PRSPs were delivered: specifically whether resources allocated in PRSPs to WSS priorities, were converted into expenditure on WSS-related outputs, and thereby contributed to poverty reducting objectives.
The case studies examined key stages along the journey from Water Supply and Sanitation ‘allocations’ in PRSPs to budget allocations and actual expenditure on sector outputs and in so doing highlight the kind of events or factors which may disrupt and delay the flow of funds and their translation into desired poverty reduction outcomes. |
