Options for small-town water supply and sanitation in Nigeria

The objectives of this study were to develop some management options for the integration of socioeconomic and environmental aspects of WS&S project in small-towns and to develop set of procedures, rules, tools and relationships to facilitate the exchange of information among the major actors in the sector in order to improve performance in the sector. The study among other things provides the blend between ‘top-down’ and the ‘bottom-up’ management approaches which allows for active participation of all the major stake holders of the Sector - Governments, Financing Agencies, Benefiting Communities, Manufacturers, and Consultants in the development of Nigerian WS&S Schemes from the start of the project to operation and maintenance.
