The
Secure Water research programme seeks to increase understanding
among interveners working on water-livelihood linkages in
order to enhance their capacity to eliminate poverty in demand-responsive
approaches (DRA). The aim is to develop SL-based decision-support
tools for use in donor country strategy papers and government
and NGO sector development plans in five target countries:
India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Malawi and Sudan, by June 2004.
Secure
Water draws on the SL framework and the Household Economy
approach (HEA) to understand the nature of water-livelihood
changes at the household level and best practices for the
elimination of poverty through water supply interventions.
In particular the programme will examine how livelihood outcomes
are affected by changes in the nature of water supply at the
household level, and the extent to which these factors are
currently being addressed.
The programme is co-ordinated by the Overseas Development
Instiute (ODI) and partners, and is funded by DFID.
