Learning alliances

WASHCost India looks at learning alliance as a means of spreading the lessons learned during the project period and believes that these learning processes require a different set of norms, support systems. This space gives updates on the processes and developments related to learning alliances in India.



Visioning exercise

As part of embedding, the WASHCost (India) project has conducted a visioning exercise to disseminate and discuss the research findings / recommendations with the concerned stakeholders from the department and communities. This process provided a solid basis for developing and costing the interventions and activities required in three villages to improve WASH services delivery. As this process proceeds, key Learning Alliance members will gain a first-hand understanding and appreciation of the potential benefits (or otherwise) of adopting a life-cycle cost (LCC) approach to estimating the costs of achieving and sustaining a specified level of service.
