A Real Trickle-Down Effect: Improving the role of small-scale water providers in the Asia-Pacific
Aware that the world is not on track to meet the Millennium Development Goals’ commitment to halve the number of people without access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2015, the United Nations has declared 2008 the International Year of Sanitation (UN 2006). Accordingly, the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) has committed to a Water and Sanitation Initiative, involving increased water and sanitation funding in Asia and the Pacific in 2009-2011. The Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) and the International Water Centre are working to determine investment options and strategic direction for AusAID in this sector, focusing on partnerships with non-government organisations (NGOs). This literature review will help to contextualise the work of the ISF in this area and will hopefully serve as a useful resource for future research.
