Bringing Water to the Poor Selected ADB Case Studies
Conan, Herve; Paniagua, Maria; Shrestha, Ava | January 2004
Abstract
This publication presents 12 case studies that give an overview of the types of poverty reduction projects ADB is either currently engaged in or has recently undertaken in the water sector. They are taken from a range of ADB’s DMCs and cover issues from water supply and sanitation to irrigation and drought relief. They represent a variety of development approaches, including: loans (water supply in the Philippines and Pakistan); technical assistance projects (community awareness and health in Viet Nam), and partnerships (donor cooperation on water supply for Timor-Leste). The cases highlight projects at various stages of completion, including: project design (sanitation in Papua New Guinea); midterm review (water supply and sanitation in Kiribati); complete, evaluated loan projects (irrigation and water supply in the Philippines); and innovative approaches to tackling complex water supply issues (the role of small-scale water providers in serving the urban poor).
