  1. Rural water supply corruption in Ethiopia

    Publication - Books or book chapters - 3 September 2013
    Roger Calow, Alan MacDonald, Piers Cross
    For decades, corruption in Ethiopia has been discussed only at the margins. Perhaps because many have not experienced corruption as a significant constraint to their lives and businesses, or perhaps because a culture of circumspection has dampened open dialogue, Ethiopia has seen neither the information flows nor the debate on corruption that most other countries have seen in recent years. This chapter 4 focuses on rural water supply corruption in 'Diagnosing corruption in Ethiopia : perceptions, realities, and the way forward for key sectors'.

    Unblocking results in Tanzanian rural water supply

    Opinion - Podcasts and audio - 14 August 2013
    ​

    “When donors are investing in the [water] sector, they need to think beyond infrastructure – it’s not a matter of counting the number of pipes and pumps which need to be bought. You must look at the social structures and institutional setups that need to be in place…to deliver the services that are actually required.”

    ODI research on how governance constraints can undermine the effective delivery of public services in developing countries identified a number of ways aid can help to ‘unblock results’ and get services flowing.

  3. Innovation in cooperative farming, Rwanda
    Innovation in cooperative farming, Rwanda

    Innovation in cooperative farming. Farmers work on terraced farmland supported by the Rwandese government and the World Bank in Kagano Village. Terrace farming promotes conservation techniques that increase productivity of key crops. Three-quarters of people who live in extreme poverty live in rural areas, and most rely on agriculture for their food and income. If these small farmers can boost their yields and get their surplus to market, they can feed their families, raise their incomes, and improve their quality of life. (Kibavu, Rwanda, 2010)

  5. Relationships between water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) service delivery and peace-building and state-building: a review of the literature

    Publication - Discussion papers - 17 December 2012
    ODI Working Papers 362
    Nathaniel Mason
    There is an increasing desire among policy and programming communities for service delivery in fragile and conflict affected states and situations to yield peace-building and state-building benefits. This paper maps the theoretical relationships and assesses the state of the evidence, which is found to be patchy for service delivery in general, and more so for WASH services.

    Progress-linked finance: A study of the feasibility and practicality of a proposed WASH financing approach

    Projects - May 2011 to August 2011
    Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor's (WSUP) evolving experience over recent years has led them to propose a financing model which they have initially denominated "triggering" or "progress-linked finance" (PLF). Under this model, the key institutional and business actors in city-level WASH development move towards readiness for major scale-up financing through capacity development, WASH planning and institutional strengthening. ODI's Water Policy Programme will provide an informed scoping study to assess theoretical feasibility of the progress-linked finance (PLF) model and uptake by development actors, developing a number of options for how PLF might work in different contexts.
