Abstract | Costs associated with community management of water supply and sanitation systems need to be defined at an early stage. Moreover, their efficiency should be examined at a local level rather than at a government level to allow long-term community management. Projects which were considered to have had a strong community participation of focus have failed because the costs of time to rural communities was not appreciated. |
