Sustainable Services at Scale (Triple-S):
The International Water and Sanitation Centre (IRC) has launched a multi-country learning project which aims to move from project based, one-off construction of water systems to indefinitely sustainable rural water services delivered at scale.
The project will work with partners in developing countries to research and learn about the bottlenecks and solutions for improving service delivery. The initiative is starting in Ghana and Uganda and seeks to expand to a further two countries over the next five years. Importantly, the project aims to build momentum at international level, working collaboratively with a wide range of partners, towards a re-assessment of how development assistance to the rural water supply sector is designed, costed and planned.
