Organizational reviews and sector policy

Strengthening organizations in the WASH sector is generally recognised as a key priority. Different sub-sectors such as urban water, urban sanitation and rural WASH, each have a different range of key stakeholders, although in general terms, there are formal service providers, non-state providers (private and civil society), plus various Government institutions involved in policy making, regulation and sector co-ordination. A key challenge is getting the best out of the various stakeholders to enhance service improvements. WEDC has undertaken significant research, consultancy and capacity development work in this area, focusing particularly on organizational analyses, policy reviews, enhancing services to the poor and specific studies.
