Abstract title:

Working with local NGOs: WaterAids drinking water and sanitation programme in Nepal

Author: Jon Lane
Issue: Vol. 2, Number 2 1992

This paper describes the evolution of WaterAids programme of work in Nepal, based on the authors experiences while working as WaterAids Representative Engineer in Nepal from January 1987 to April 1991. It examines how WaterAids philosophy of working in partnership with local organisations was actually put into practice. Various problems and constraints are identified and discussed, and certain points are highlighted which may be of general interest to other external support agencies working in similar ways in other countries and sectors. The overall conclusion is that this programme represents a viable methodology for an international NGO to achieve useful results in supporting local NGOs working in development.
