Case Study: Water Kiosks How the combination of low-cost technology, pro-poor financing and regulation leads to the scaling up of water supply service provision to the poor GTZ (2009)
n order to achieve the MDGs for water supply in Zambia, an additional 2.85 million residents of low-income areas need to gain access to safe and reliable water. During the national stakeholder consultation process that followed the MDG process, the Zambian government and cooperation partners emphasised that, in order to reach this goal, about one million more people should be served by mid-2011.Water Kiosks, where formal water providers supply safe water at affordable prices, have proven to be an appropriate and efficient solution, providing water to a large number of residents in urban low-income areas. Implementation of this low-cost technology is facilitated though multi-donor basket funds that provide pro-poor funding to commercial utilities (CUs), implementation support and post-implementation monitoring
