The variety of lessons and experiences in this report is inspiring, ranging from the Water Footprints Network that supports businesses improving their water use efficiency to the innovative financing mechanisms enabling the expansion of rural water access in Kenya. The Millennium Development Goal target for sanitation is probably the toughest to achieve, and we need to deploy the skills and expertise of the private sector if the 2.6 billion people currently without access to sanitation are to be reached. The report includes the following lessons. Using market finance to extend water supply services in peri-urban and rural Kenya, by Rajesh Advani. Thinking outside the pipeline : venturing into distributed off-grid water markets, by Vikram Kumar and Will Davies. Improving rural water service in Rwanda, by Christophe Prevost, Bruno Mwanafunzi, and Nitin Jain. Before investo...

The smart lesson below shows what authors have learned from four pilot projects in Peru-urban and rural areas that have contributed to innovation in...
