conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Patrick MoriartyThis paper briefly examines the role of water in rural
livelihoods. It argues that the WATSAN sector should
adopt a ‘livelihoods approach’ to water supply projects for
two main reasons. The first is that by doing so it will greatly
increase the impact on poverty and human welfare of the
water supplies. The second is that it will directly support
existing efforts to improve sustainability and demand
responsiveness. The paper also examines the main barriers
to taking such an approach and the steps necessary to
overcome these barriers.
