The Water Dialogues promote positive national debate and robust research on PSP that involves wide range of sector stakeholders.
The Water Dialogues differ from previous international multistakeholder processes in that the emphasis is on national and sub-national level debate and research. National multistakeholder working groups will design and supervise targeted research to assess the most appropriate delivery options for water and sanitation services (WSS). By operating at the level of implementation, the outputs from The Water Dialogues will be context specific and feed directly into national sector reform processes.
Facilitating the participation of poor communities and small-scale private service providers in assessing existing WSS and providing inputs into future policy decisions is a key component of the project. Directly linking communities with policy makers should help to ensure services meet local needs, strengthen local governance, and increase the sense of local ownership.
Findings from national multistakeholder research will be drawn together and publicised at international level through reports, presentations, conferences and on the project website so as to contribute to sector policy developments.
In addition, the methods and processes used to create and sustain effective multistakeholder dialogues and the real life experiences of participants will be recorded and published so that others wishing to pursue similar initiatives can benefit from the lessons learned.
