Title
ODI - Implementation of Water Supply & Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs

Abstract
This working paper presents a synthesis of findings from a research project entitled ‘WatSan & PRSPs: strengthening the design, finance and delivery of water supply and sanitation programmes under PRSPs in sub-Saharan Africa’. The project was coordinated by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), in partnership with WaterAid and in collaboration with the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP)-Africa, as well as with researchers and policy specialists in the region.

The research detailed here addresses both policy and practice issues surrounding the implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) from a water sector perspective. The importance of access to improved water and sanitation services for poverty reduction is well established and recently enshrined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The water sector therefore provides a good example and test of PRSP delivery and development at national level, towards international goals.
