Why do technically sound WASH sector strategies, even those that have been successful in other contexts or constitute accepted ‘best practice’, fail to improve access to water supply and sanitation, especially for the poor? Why do good sector policies, often supported by donor technical assistance, fail to get implemented? Why are seemingly successful pilot programmes not scaled up? Why are sector financing arrangements consistently undermined? Why do some communities fail to organise their own sanitation practices, but others are successful in doing so?
