Introduction
It is common these days for projects in the water supply and sanitation sector to actively promote community management of water supply and sanitation services. Similarly there are many tools that have been developed to enable us to engage communities, share knowledge with community members and enable community members, with minimal support, to better analyse their own situation and plan the management and improvement of their water supply and sanitation services.
