| Abstract | The focus of this study is on the small-scale water providers (SSWPs) who pioneer and operate piped water networks. It assesses outcomes of the Asian Development Bank’s four small piped water network (SPWN) pilot projects and reviews related documents and literature to provide actual policy recommendations for ADB related to their “replicability”, sustainability, and scalability. The rationale for this study is to identify which characteristics might be changed to increase the potential for their sustainable large-scale implementation in the future. The advantages and disadvantages of engaging SSWPs and SPWN systems are evaluated in comparison to the traditional style of piped supply. After the literature review (chapter 2) and methodology (chapter 3), chapters 4, 5, and 6 describe the situation in the studied cases and their respective estimated potential for sustainability. Replicability and scalability is context dependent – different system characteristics are optimal in a different context. Therefore, these are generally discussed in chapter 7 after the review of outcomes of all studied SPWNs in the different local contexts. Conclusions and recommendations for ADB are in the final chapter. |
