 In 2006-2007, the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) initiated research to identify barriers to service delivery for the urban poor. The findings of the research have been presented in the Guidance Note on Improving Water Supply and Sanitation Services to the Urban Poor in India. The Urban Global Practice Team of WSP decided to expand the ambit of this reserach to a global context as the learnings were relevant to experiences across Afica, Latin America, and East Asia and the Pacific.
The Guidance Notes are based on an in-depth research of various initiatives from across the world (including South Asian, African, Latin American, and East Asia and the Pacific countries) and consultations with urban poor communities. The present volume is a documantation of this research and supports the Guidance Notes on Services for the Urban Poor.
This volume is an extended version of a previous WSP publication, Global Experiences on Expanding Services to the Urban Poor.
