Water Supply and Sanitation Fund

The concept of a water fund as a demand-driven facility for subsidised investments in the water supply and sanitation sector has proven to be a successful model in Europe and North-America since the 1940th. The project applies a similar model in the context of the Rwandan water sector with the objective to create ownership, introduce transparent sub-project evaluation procedures, and to create a sustainable funding mechanism involving an operation and maintenance account to remain operational after project closure. In order to support local government commissions who have become responsible for provision of water supply and sanitation services under Rwanda's strategy of decentralised governance, the project aims to support technical, logistical and managerial capacities in order to ensure proper project design, evaluation and supervision. hydrophil is involved in all steps of the project cycle including project design, monitoring and backstopping in a pilot project in the Province of Gikongoro.
