Mapping for better accountability in service delivery: assessing WaterAid's work in mapping water supply and sanitation delivery to the poor (pdf 174kb)

This briefing paper looks at international experiences in mapping for accountability in the water sector.

Based on a recent assessment of WaterAid's work in this area in six countries, the paper outlines the nature of water mapping, how it is done, and what impact it has had.

It also presents key lessons from WaterAid's mapping experiences for improving the accountability of service delivery and suggests ways of linking mapping with wider policy processes.
