Overview

activity

This activity provided funding for a beneficiary assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of OBA and Community Supply Water Schemes (CSWSs) as a tool to deliver basic access to water to the poor in situations where grid-based water supply is unaffordable.
This analysis focused on the following:
1) Identify benefits of access to clean water, compared to a situation without clean water.
2) Evaluate the affordability of registration costs and cost of on-going consumption of water for the targeted poor.
3) Assess the impact on increased uptake and consumption.
4) Evaluate the impact of OBA on operational efficiency and quality of service.
