Title
ODI - SecureWater – Whither Poverty?
Livelihoods in the DRA:
a case study of the Water Supply Programme in India
Abstract
Lack of secure access to sustainable water supplies remains
a major obstacle to efforts to reduce poverty around the
world. The failure of previous supply-led2 approaches to
realise the goal of ‘water for all’ has led to a global shift in
water policies and the emergence of new ‘Demand
Responsive Approaches’ (DRA).
In principle, the DRA aims to improve efficiency and
therefore the financial and technical sustainability of
delivery systems. In practice, this implies major changes in
the roles and responsibilities of sector stakeholders. These
principles as well as related principles of integrated water
management, increasingly inform the development and
implementation of water supply3 policies around the world,
but their interpretation and the degree of their translation
into practice varies substantially, both between and within
countries.
