Abstract: | Improving access to water and sanitation does not necessarily guarantee longevity of those systems transferred. Lessons from
past interventions suggest that success depends on acceptance of the technology from the recipients and sustained use after
donor assistance ends. A qualitative evaluation of urban community sanitation systems in Indonesia is conducted by use of
a diagnostic tool, called RECAP, focusing on technology performance and experience. By means of surveys and qualitative interviews,
the perceptions of involved stakeholders (local government, implementing agency and users) are evaluated. Conclusions suggest
bridging the gap between governments and users in relation to maintenance and monitoring would improve the quality and longevity
of interventions. |
