Sustainable Water Services at Scale (Triple-S)
The International Water and Sanitation Centre (IRC) is leading a six-year multi-country learning initiative to improve water supply to the rural poor. Sustainable Services at Scale (Triple-S) seeks to move away from project-based, stand-alone implementation of water systems towards indefinitely sustainable rural water services delivered at scale. Working with national partners, Triple-S supports a paradigm shift at the operational level for decentralised service delivery.
The initiative is starting Ghana and Uganda and seeks to expand to a further two countries, over the next five years. Importantly 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.
