I am Dr. Megha Phansalkar working as Knowledge Management Specialist with the Water Supply and Sanitation Department, Government of Maharashtra.
We are scaling up ‘community driven approaches’ in the drinking water sector, through external and internal funding projects. We are therefore interested in learning about projects/initiatives in the sector, where Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) tools have facilitated interaction by supplying information and encouraging learning to help in participatory decision making. (for e.g. preparation of PRA maps on the computer, data base of related water resources stored and analyzed by the community, natural resource mapping done with the help of some computer application etc.) We would further like to document such initiatives (including the before and after situation, and other related aspects).
Thus, I would like to request Solution Exchange members of the Water and ICT for Development Communities to please share the following:
Our compilation of case studies would help implementers like us, to take a few successful initiatives to scale. Additionally, the case studies would be available as ready reference material for usage by stakeholders.
