| Abstract | To increase coverage of water and sanitation facilities, projects should not only be sustainable but also replicable. Two types of replication are defined: "see and ask" and "see and do". In the first case communities request a project they have seen to be replicated in their own setting. They therefore require imported technologies and external support. The "see and do" method entails that community members are trained in project techniques and can then replicate them themselves with minimal external resources. "See and do" replication depends on project staff developing attitudes which encourage greater community involvement and on choosing community-based technologies. Examples of NGO projects which employed the "see and do" methodology are presented. |
