Abstract

Over the past decade the water supply and sanitation sector has seen the development of several appropriate low‐cost technologies which are now being successfully introduced in many full‐scale projects worldwide. The principal difficulties facing this sector relate to institutional development and project implementation strategies. This paper takes up questions of: (1) incompatibilities between the appropriate technologies and the institutions trying to implement them in the field, (2) tied‐aid policies and their effect on the sector and (3) integration of the community participatory approach into government programmes. It also recommends measures for improving technology management and implementation strategies in low‐income communities of the developing world.
