Summary of Study Session 9

In Study Session 9, you have learned that:

1. The OWNP is a government programme with ambitious goals which cannot be achieved by the government alone. Many other stakeholders groups need to be involved.
2. The main government stakeholders are the four WASH ministries. Some other ministries are also involved.
3. There are three main types of non-governmental stakeholder: major, associated and collaborating stakeholders.
4. Major stakeholders include direct fund contributors to the Consolidated WASH Account such as The World Bank, the Department for International Development, the African Development Bank and UNICEF.
5. Other important stakeholders are the direct WASH project implementers (NGOs or CSOs) like WaterAid, Plan International and UNICEF.
6. Collaborating stakeholders include indirect contributors such as private sector businesses, community organisations, training centres and user groups.
