Self Supply is the best alternative to enhancing rural water supply

Access to water is limited in many developing countries because the conventional approach where water supply provision is externally driven by governments, donors and non-governmental organizations cannot solely address the issues of access and functionality. The private sector on the other hand has limited capacity to cope with increased water supply activities including implementation and provision of cost effective Operation and Maintenance support. Therefore are  self supply initiatives a solution to increased access and coverage?

Most rural communities in Africa are lagging behind in coverage and quality of water service as compared to their urban counterparts. This is because, most of these communities are in very remote areas and so are often by-passed by sector interventions. Self supply initiatives are therefore the alternatives to providing water to rural communities
