<strong>Abstract:</strong> Despite the importance of water and sanitation projects in improving public health and overall well-being, many areas in Kenya still face numerous challenges. Siaya County, located in Western Kenya, has been grappling with water and sanitation challenges for years. According to the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, only 41% of Siaya County residents have access to improved water sources, while 17% have access to improved sanitation facilities. This study sought to address this gap by investigating the extent to which project communication influences the success of wa

Abstract:
Current resource allocations for water supply and sanitation are far below those required to meet basic needs, particularly in low-income countries. Many organisations supporting advocacy and arguing for change make use of the primary statistical data for Official Development Assistance (ODA) which measures donor aid flows to the sector. From 2010 onwards important changes have taken place to the way ODA is reported including disaggregation between aid flows for water supply and aid flows for sanitation.

Premature failure or abandonment of water or sanitation interventions in developing communities is a common phenomenon and one which is preventing potential benefits from being fully realised. While the causes of project failure are complex and varied, the literature addressing project failure implicates poor planning in many unsustained small-scale projects. In particular, a number of authors criticise planning that fails to include consideration of key sustainability areas.

Abstract:
This article presents a comparison between the municipalities of Conceição de Macabu and Varre-e-Sai, located respectively in the North and Northwest of the state of Rio de Janeiro, in relation o their development and sustainability indicators and the existence of Private Reserves of Natural Heritage (RPPN). The objective was to evaluate the situation of these municipalities with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. The SDGs that were worked on are SDG 6 – clean water and sanitation, SDG 13 – climate action and SDG 15 – life on

Abstract:
Given the importance of water and sanitation loans in the Bank's portfolio of infrastructure projects and the significance of the measures that are underway throughout the region, this discussion paper aims to identify those particular features of the water and sanitation sector which distinguish it from other infrastructure services and which will consequently merit special attention by countries engaging in such reforms. Included are a discussion of institutional problems facing state-owned providers of public services and policy responses to three key economic issues: optimal sector structu

Abstract:
This report sets out an approach and a set of tools for the financial structuring of public-private partnership projects, with a particular application to the potable water and sanitation sector. The analytical framework developed here arose from the experience and insight of investors, lenders, governments, advisors and Inter-American Development Bank staff, in the development and financing of infrastructure projects in Latin America.

Abstract:
The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region has a long history of coping with natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, and coastal storm surges. However, climate change is expected to exacerbate the threat of natural hazards and pose new ones. As a result of climate change, average temperatures and sea levels are known to be rising, precipitation patterns might change, and hurricanes could intensify. Many of these changes are already occurring, and are projected to become more severe in the future. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) supports a wide-range of projects in the LAC regio

Abstract:
Women and girls use water for domestic activities and home-caring for vulnerable family members, as well as taking care of small cattle and agricultural production. Given their active use of water, women tend to be truly knowledgeable about current water sources, their quality and reliability, and any restrictions on their use. On the other hand, men use water for productive activities. Although women supply almost half of all agricultural labor in low-and middle-income countries, their agricultural productivity is on average 20 percent to 30 percent lower than male farmers.

Abstract:
Public procurement represents a large portion of government expenditure, more so in developing economies. Inefficiencies in public expenditures thus place a heavy burden on society. The Water and Sanitation (W&amp;S) sector is especially vulnerable to public procurement inefficiencies due to the capital-intensive and complex nature of large-scale projects such as sewage, pipelines, and general maintenance. Recent studies have found that quality of corporate governance and transparency of water utilities as well as regulatory and supervisory agencies are key drivers of the sectors performance.

Abstract:
This evaluation looked at the performance and sustainability of 100 water systems that were installed in Paraguay between 2004 and 2010 as part of a project supported by the IDB. As part of the study, a technical review was conducted of the systems eight to ten years after entry into service, and interviews were held with users, sanitation boards, and the executing agency (SENASA). After establishing the level of performance, the evaluation studied factors that are correlated with a higher level of performance and sustainability, relative to both the original design parameters and thechanging

Abstract:
Energy consumption in the water sector is extremely important. Energy is needed throughout the entire process of drinking water generation and treatment. Estimates indicate that electricity expenses may represent as much as 40% of the total operating costs of a water and sanitation (W&amp;S) utility. Conversely, energy consumption of W&amp;S utilities often represent animportant proportion of the total electricity generated in a country. Yet, energy consumed by W&amp;S utilities is not always used efficiently. This technical note aims to highlight how water and sanitation utilities can increas
