Drawing on lessons from a review of existing examples, the document provides a framework for the establishment of post-project support mechanisms for communities that contribute to a greater capacity for sustained community management of rural water systems. It explores key issues to be taken into consideration and includes a range of potential institutional models. In addition, the document is a resource tool to support advocacy efforts in highlighting the problem of sustainability and to raise awareness among key actors, including the major policy and donor agencies, about the importance of post project support to communities.
