conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Dinesh Bajracharya, Paul DeverillThis paper is the result of collaboration between WEDC
and Nepal Water for Health (NEWAH). Both organisations
are involved in a DFID funded research project investigating
the role of engineers in meeting demand for water supply
and sanitation (Deverill & Smout, 2000).
The paper describes how NEWAH is developing a demand
responsive, poverty sensitive approach to water supply and
sanitation in three of the poorest regions in Nepal. It reflects
the point of view that demand responsive approaches are
being advocated without taking into account their impact
on the poorest members of society.
