This project management tutorial is intended for anyone who is involved in or will be involved in projects that take place within or are conducted in association with DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services). The text, however, has been prepared in such a way that it can be used by other organisations, particularly those in the non-profit sector, that use project-based working methods.

EMPOWERS was a four-year regional project at governorate, district and village level in Egypt, Jordan and Palestine. This publication is not a manual but it does provide guidance for those who think that tracking the obstacles and opportunities for change is important.

This video by IRC’s WASHCost project examines the full costs of building traditional latrines in Mozambique. There, cost data for planning are collected by local authorities. They gather the information around households in the area. Households are visited and their sanitation situation is assessed. This gives a clear picture of what is actually achieved.

This paper reviews five different sustainability assessment tools that are currently in use for programme monitoring of WASH interventions. The selected tools all have a developed framework that has each been pilot tested and produces an objective and quantifiable output (e.g., final score or percentage) that can be used to trigger improvements to programme design or take remedial actions.

This guide provides practical guidelines for the implementation of strategic sanitation concepts. Part A introduces important strategic concepts and is intended to put the rest of the guide into context. Part B, the heart of the guide, is divided into three sections, each containing information on the processes to be followed to develop a more strategic approach to sanitation service provision at a particular level. Part C contains a set of tools to assist strategic planning, training modules, and a section suggesting further sources of information.

The introduction of adequate sanitation can provide a range of health advantages and other positive benefits to households and communities. This case examines the impacts a for-profit enterprise, providing sanitation services to the Base of the Pyramid, has on children and pregnant women and how these impacts can be enhanced.

The aim of this training manual is to share insights and experience of participatory water resource management approaches and tools, as developed by EMPOWERS and to train participants in specific tools for planning of water development and management projects at local community levels. The training manual operates as a guideline for training courses held by EMPOWERS.

After observing how CLTS was changing lives in Bangladesh, WaterAid introduced the approach in Nigeria in 2005. Over time it became clear that the practice would need to be adapted to be effective in another country and continent with its own challenges. Drawing on the findings from evaluations and research on CLTS in the country, WaterAid in Nigeria has progressively revitalized the CLTS process. This document is a practical guide to implementing the revitalized CLTS approach and covers the main barriers and triggers to progress likely to be encountered along the way.

The "sanitation economics" approach used throughout the paper consists of applying economic principles, approaches and tools to evaluate a number of "sanitation markets" alongside the sanitation value chain. Each segment of the sanitation value chain can be conceived as a separate "sanitation market", with different actors demanding and providing sanitation services.

This briefing note presents an application of the life-cycle costs approach (LCCA) to sanitation in rural and peri-urban areas in four different countries— Andhra Pradesh (India), Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Mozambique. The document compares the differences between the financial costs of traditional and improved latrines, and the quality of service delivered to users.
