How can water and sanitation services to the urban poor be scaled up?

Every year, WSUP (Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor) organises a Project Implementation Workshop, convening its Project Managers, Project Directors and Projects Group together with senior staff from its service provider partners and sector colleagues. The meeting aims to promote cross project and cross sector learning. In 2009, the meeting was hosted in Nairobi, from 2nd to 7th November, and was attended by project and LSP staff from Antananarivo, Bangalore, Dhaka, Kumasi, Lusaka, Maputo, Nairobi and Naivasha. The workshop included two days of discussions around the question “How can water and sanitation services to the urban poor be scaled up?” This report summarises the findings, and includes examples from WSUP projects and elsewhere.
