Completed Projects
A number of projects in which IRC has been involved have been completed. The background material on these projects can still be found in this folder.
RiPPLE Phase 1
RiPPLE started as a five-year (2006-2011) research programme consortium with DFID funding to advance evidence-based learning on WASH financing, delivery and sustainability and to improve equity of access for the poor in Ethiopia and the Nile region. IRC was a core partner in its development. From September 2011 RiPPLE continues to evolve as an Ethiopia-based WASH resource centre (see www.rippleethiopia.org).
WHiRL (completed 2004)
Water, Households and Rural Livelihoods (WHiRL) is a project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DfID) that looks at promoting access of the poor to sustainable water supplies for domestic and productive uses in areas of water scarcity in South Africa and India.
