Rural water supply, sanitation and budget support - guidelines for task teams
Cardosi, Evans | Iyer, Param | Evans, Barbara | Hicks, Norman
Rural water supply, sanitation and hygiene (RWSSH) effectiveness and sustainability, remains a huge challenge for most countries, particularly in applying lessons at a scale which is sufficient to meet Millennium Development Goals. These guidelines, the result of a productive collaboration between the Energy and Water Department and the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) Department, should serve as a starting point for water supply and sanitation staff in the design and implementation of budget support operations such as Poverty Reduction Support Credits (PRSCs). They are also intended to provide resources for macroeconomists and PRSC task team leaders, and their clients as they seek to identify appropriate approaches to RWSSH. These guidelines are seen as an important contribution to the Global Millennium Development Project to scale up access to basic services, and tackle poverty worldwide. The document is designed in four parts. The core of the document is the budget support PRIMER. This is a short document designed to give sector staff pointers on how to engage in budget support operations. The primer outlines what will be expected, and what can be done to prepare country clients for budget support operations. The budget support TOOLBOX, is a lengthier document that discusses the steps required to ready a national RWSSH program for inclusion in the national budget. It is designed to be used as a reference for developing an operation, and covers budget support building blocks, analytical and advisory services (AAA) tools, and advocacy tools. The SAMPLE OPERATIONS have been included to illustrate how the budget support process has proceeded in practice in two ongoing cases.
