The purpose of the workshop was to: • enable information sharing on water-related technical, management and social issues between UK-based development organisations • disseminate that information to project practitioners through existing channels of communication. The project summaries were prepared by NGOs before the workshop and circulated to participants. They cover a wide geographical range, with a variety of lessons identified from the projects. The lessons are distilled in Chapter 2 and the summaries themselves can be found in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 comprises the three overview papers which were presented at the workshop: • An overview report on the technical appraisal 1996-97 Joint Funding Scheme submissions • The findings of the Water and Livelihoods Workshop in Harare, 1997 • Sources of information and networking for water supply and sanitation professionals. A total of 65 participants from British NGOs, universities and the UK Department for International Development attended the workshop, which was held at British Overseas NGOs for Development (BOND) in London. The participants considered lessons to be learnt from the project summaries and overview papers. Discussion groups focused on water supply and sanitation in rural projects, in urban projects and in emergencies, and identified specific themes which they discussed later in more detail. The following emerged as the main issues of concern: • sustainability and long-term benefits • community approach • poverty focus – livelihoods and reaching the poor • going to scale and replication • timing and phasing of projects • inter-relations with major players (utilities, local government etc.). DFID gave a panel presentation on the role of NGOs in improving water supply and sanitation for the poor, following the White Paper on International Development. The Workshop proceedings are outlined in Appendix 1 and the reports from discussion groups are given in Appendix 2. Appendix 3 contains ten tables, which summarise the lessons learnt thematically. 1 The WELL resource centre was commissioned by DFID to organise the Workshop and disseminate the Project Summaries, working with a Steering Committee from Africa Now, WaterAid, BOND, Bradford University and DFID and staff from Christian Aid, SCF and WaterAid who prepared the standard formats and sample summaries.
