Issues Impacting Sustainability of Water-related Interventions Sample Clauses

Issues Impacting Sustainability of Water-related Interventions. To assess factors hindering sustainable development, it is necessary to understand the issues affecting sustainability of water-related projects. Sustainability of well-intended projects becomes at risk when roles and responsibilities of management, donors, partners, stakeholders and beneficiaries are not clearly outlined.10 The likelihood of sustainable of water programs decreases when organizations make limited efforts to quantitatively, and qualitatively measure core indicators of sustainability. Poorly measured indicators that impact sustainability include: quality of water, maintenance of water systems, cost of operations, rate of adoption, accountability, available economic and human resources, operational capacity, and ownership.25, 27,50,51 Another critical issue impacting the sustainability of WASH programs is the removal of donors from financial, operational, and management support roles within short and inflexible time frames. Untimely donor pullout without adequate preparations of the intervention beneficiaries to assume full capability, can render donations unsustainable.10 Furthermore, lack of locally-available alternative technologies that are feasible for the communities to maintain over time has a negative impact on the sustainability of interventions.10, 27 For these reasons, institutional capacity strengthening is needed at the onset of program planning to properly implement the strategies of donor and funding organizations. Failure to involve communities and beneficiaries in the decisions to implement water interventions that suit their specific needs increases the chances of inappropriate interventions and unsustainable outcomes.46 Another issue impacting sustainability is the inability to rally political will at all levels of the government to dedicate the necessary resources needed to promote and create demand for WASH services and interventions.46, 56 Lastly, inadequate monitoring and evaluation systems of water interventions to inform good policies or future donations affect the sustainability of water-related interventions.9 Poor forethought with regard to the financial sustainability of water interventions also contributes to decreased sustainability. Implementing organizations tend to focus on the hardware components of projects, rather than resolving software challenges such as payment issues or long-term funding for system malfunctions, and this can result in inevitable failure of programs.10 Failure to consider software issue...
