Title
ODI - Factors behind the Poor Integration of
the Water and Sanitation Sector in
PRSPs in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) and the associated processes are
becoming increasingly important in setting the policy agenda within developing
countries and focusing it on poverty reduction. For sectors, engagement in the PRSP
process is becoming increasingly important, as PRSPs are increasingly a platform for
mobilisation of resources, and scaling up activities nationally.
A major premise in the PRSP experiment is that the participatory process of
developing a PRSP will help build political commitment. Donors and civil society
can, through such participatory processes, help provide the external impetus to ensure
poverty reduction remains on the political agenda. However there is no guarantee that
this will be successful. The jury is out on whether participatory processes can build
the levels of political commitment required for PRSPs to become instruments which
actually deliver results.
