Overall strategy
• Supporting the sector (at the sector level) – through a range of programme areas
• Testing implementation at the district level towards achieving sustainable services in practice
• Under-pined by a partnership approach with key government institutions (in particular CWSA being the lead institution for rural water services)

The Legacy of Triple-S and Beyond

The Legacy of Triple-S and Beyond
Post project legacies for buy in• Official adoption of the service delivery approach and endorsement of use of operational
documents by government and partners• Community Water sector of Ghana coordinated within a framework of nationally approved
operational documents, guidelines and standards for delivering water services• A community of practice of SDA• Institutionalized structure and learning culture within CWSA for continued development and
promotion of innovation for sustainable water services
•

The Legacy of Triple-S and Beyond
Nature and depth of demand• number of types of products and innovations developed and used by the sector.
– Revised DIMES which reflects service monitoring and uniform reporting framework across the country.
– sector operational documents that clearly define strategies and guidelines for water service delivery
– Tested innovative options for post construction support and financing – Result based financing schemes for water which rewards sustainability– Service delivery chain model for post construction support– A handbook on innovative options, best practices, steps, strategies and procures for
adoption of SDA.

The Legacy of Triple-S and Beyond
Proof of Concept• Pilot districts will be centers of excellence for water service
delivery and reference point for learning • an action research report documenting the processes and
correlation between innovative elements of SDA and service town time.

Framework conditions for implementing SDA
Framework conditions for implementing SDA• Partnerships and government leadership• The discourse on the sustainability challenge is beginning to reflect in practice.
CWSA has officially endorsed adoption of SDA at its annual conference held in April 2012. The Ghana Statement for SWA HLM in April 2012 recognizes adoption of SDA as an approach to addressing the sustainability challenge in order to ensure long term service.
• Sector operational documents are being reviewed to reflect the service delivery approach: National Community Water and Sanitation Strategy; Project Implementation Manual; guidelines and standards
• Service monitoring has been adopted and the framework for monitoring functionality and sustainably included in official sector operational documents
•
WATER SERVICES THAT LAST …12
Framework conditions for implementing SDA
• The Advisory and technical committees constituted by the Ministry to provide policy direction and development of technical content for Triple-S has brought key stakeholders within and outside CWSA together to co-create technical (operational) and policy (strategic) innovations towards ensuring sustainability and functionality.
• The annual reflection meetings within CWSA and with stakeholders instituted to review progress of implementation of SDA in Ghana is providing a platform for self reflection and co-creation of ideas/ and strategies for implementation.
• A community of practice of SDA is beginning to emerge. A number of NGOs are now piloting/ incorporating aspects
•
WATER SERVICES THAT LAST …13
Framework conditions for implementing SDA
• Created demand for SDA knowledge and products: Demand for training to enable uptake of SDA/LCCA. by Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation, CWSA technical staff in non pilot districts and; a number of organizations have also requested information on SDA/LCCA to either inform project design
• The participatory, consultative approach that have been piloted have shown quick results in how the district assemblies are mobilizing funds and other resources and amending their planning priorities to ensure the repair and maintenance of water facilities and increased functionality.

PRODUCTS
• A publication on Lessons from Rural Water Supply: Assessing progress towards sustainable service delivery published in May 2011.
• Participatory ‘looking back’ studies to document the performance of existing service delivery models in two regions – draft report
• Tested framework for functionality and water service monitoring
• Baseline reports on functionality and service and sustainability indicators for 3 pilot districts

REPLICATION AND SCALING-UP
WATER SERVICES THAT LAST …16
SYSTEMIC CHANGES AND SCALING –UP
Embedding • Policy and agency commitments• Passage of Legislative Instrument for Community
Water Subsector regulation- legislation officially endorses operational documents
• Systemic changes in practice- CWSA adoption of the sector operational documents for the rural water sector is a major step translating policy to practice and to harmonize approaches towards delivery of sustainable services
WATER SERVICES THAT LAST …17
SCALING-UP: GOING BEYOUND BOARDERS
Opportunities and entry points for replication and scaling up• World Bank Sustainable Water and Sanitation Project to adopt service
monitoring framework and methodology for sustainability check and baseline of Water facilities in 6 districts
• EIB/AFD project in planning- includes post construction support, sustainability checks and monitoring service delivery, results based financing- to be implemented in 4 regions
• EIB/AFP project in planning premised on national operational documents and beginning first steps for a rural water sector SWAP is a good opportunity for DP alignment with the sector operational documents
• Emerging community of practice of SDA provides opportunity to maximize synergies for testing innovations and scaling out to other districts
