Document outlining the process of development, verification and refinement of service level and sustainability indicators for rural water services in...
Coming up with a convincing elevator pitch for our Sustainable Services at Scale Triple-S project has long been a challenge. Which, given the complexities of the rural water sector itself, is possibly not that surprising. Whether defining ourselves (at least in part) as a complexity informed water...
Jeremiah Atengdem is the Regional Learning Facilitator of the Triple-S Project in the Northern Region of Ghana. In this presentation he explains how the project is piloting the Service Delivery Approach in the East Gonja District.
Triple-S Ghana Initiative in collaboration with the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), the governmental agency responsible to facilitate rural water and related sanitation, and the host institution for Triple-S in Ghana, have collaborated to undertake a number of research/study on...
The Triple-S Project in Ghana conducted an assessment of water service delivery in its three pilot districts (East Gonja; Akatsi and Sunyani West) on functionality of water facilities and the level of services provided.
This working paper sets out the theory of change that guides IRC's Triple-S project. At the heart of this approach is a vision of how the rural water...
The rural water and sanitation sub sector of Ghana is on a positive trajectory towards establishing an inventory of rural and small-towns water systems across the country and a continuous service monitoring process that will enable the sector to measure and report on access, functionality and...
Vida Duti, Triple-S Ghana leader, heads a team of ten people who are hosted by the Community Water and Sanitation Agency. In seven short video clips, Vida talks about how the Ghanaian water sector is moving towards sustainable rural water service delivery.
The Triple-S Ghana project has concluded and is sharing a report of a baseline study on the status of rural water facilities in Ghana.The report presents a synthesis of the results of a baseline assessment of the status of service levels, service providers and support functions in three districts...
The Sustainable Services at Scale (Triple-S) Project has for the past three years used the sector learning approach to influence policy and practice in the rural water sector. This is because learning and adaptive management are central to delivering sustainable services.
Triple-S's end of project evaluation shows that the project, and the approaches it has developed, have made an important contribution to a paradigm shift in rural water: globally, and in Ghana, Uganda and other countries where it worked. At the same time, more work and time are needed to...
To provide ongoing services, local governments need to systematically address the full range of costs, beyond construction of water facilities. This experiment supported districts to apply the life-cycle costs approach and asset management, so that their water and sanitation plans and budgets would...
During my time in Malawi I learned a lot about the challenges of rural safe water access, and about the challenges of addressing those challenges. I left believing we still have a lot to learn about how change happens, and how to support processes of improvement. This post is to share where I'm...
The IRC Ghana team together with the Government hosted a sustainability forum as a final activity of the Triple-S project and as a formal start-up of the new initiative "Local Government Capacity Support for WASH". The latter is the project that is following up Triple-S and bringing together CWSA,...
Ghana's new service monitoring framework provides important insights on underlying causes of water system failure. At WEDC, the framework and findings regarding handpump failure were discussed.
