| Abstract | This study aims to evaluate the impact of different project rules and the applications of such rules on sustainability. The rules are evaluated in terms of responsiveness to demand at the community level. The study also attempts to design better sets of rules for future projects and policies. The primary hypothesis of the study is that: Water-supply services which are more demand-responsive are more likely to be sustainable at the community level than services which are less demand-responsive. The study covers ten projects in Benin, Bolivia, Honduras, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Uganda. These are both stand-alone Rural Water Supply initiatives as well as multi-sector projects. |
