Abstract:
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. This thesis explores the relationship between planning for rural water and sanitation development projects and their s

Abstract:
This thesis aims to evaluate the role of overseas development assistance in the delivery of water and sanitation related MDGS from a systems perspective, in order to deliver a more coherent framework that seeks to reduce developing countries’ water and sanitation needs. To achieve this, an assessment of the delivery of water and sanitation related MDGs is conducted and the main causes of concern are identified. From these, funding was isolated for further exploration, as it underpins and influences the other issues. The role and extent to which funding drives the delay in the completion of the

Abstract:
Existing appraisal and evaluation methodologies provide for a separate assessment of technical, financial, economic, institutional, social and environmental aspects of projects without a unifying theory to combine these aspects into a single measure of project performance. Data Envelopment Analysis is proposed as a methodology for combining project input and output factors into a single efficiency score which could be used to rank projects. The efficacy of the methodology has been demonstrated in an application to data from the water supply and sanitation sector in Ghana. This study involved t
