Think big, start small, scale up

Overview

As part of ongoing efforts to improve drinking-water safety and health, many countries have requested guidance on how to introduce and scale up the implementation of Water Safety Plans (WSPs). There is no one model or way to proceed with WSP implementation and scale up. However, based on experience, a series of steps has been identified that describe how this may be done.

This WSP “Road Map” is directed towards governments and regulatory entities tasked with revising or developing new drinking-water quality policies, programmes and regulations. It may also be useful to non-government organizations, funding agencies and other organizations interested in improving their existing programmes and practices.
