Title
RiPPLE - The Sustainability of
Water Supply Schemes
A case study in Mirab Abaya Woreda
Abstract
The sustainability of community-managed rural water supply schemes is a key factor in meeting the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGS), in terms of ensuring environmental sustainability, improving
health and eradicating extreme poverty for the overwhelming rural majority living in the developing
world. To sustain water supply schemes, it is vital to have the involvement of all segments of the
community in the form of full participation and control over the scheme’s operation and maintenance
(O&M), overall management, strategic decision making, ownership and cost sharing for O&M and
construction activities. Moreover, such community management has to be backed by external agents
over a long period of time with regard to technical issues for O&M, training, monitoring, information
collection, coordination and facilitation.
