Community-scale MUS Multiple sources, shared
infrastructure, re-use Peoples participation
for livelihoods and sustainability

1. Water users, CBOs

• Own investments and innovations for self-supply
  and local management have always been for MUS
• Seeking to integrate fragmented professional
  support

2. NGOs

• MUS increasingly obvious for livelihoods goals
• Technological innovation homestead-community-scal
  e MUS
• Institutionalizing MUS in government for
  sustainability and upscaling

3. Domestic sector

• Targeting everybody, including the poor, and
  homesteads
• Single-use expertise on health
• Expertise on engineering and management for
  small-scale uses
• Claiming unplanned livelihood benefits
• Recognizing higher design norms for anticipated
  expansion
• Future planning for higher service levels, with 5
  lpcd safe
• Moving up from add-ons to community-scale MUS

4. Productive sector

• Expertise on productive end-uses at fields and
  direct access (crops, soils, markets, livestock,
  fisheries)
• Expertise on engineering and management for
  larger-scale uses and water resources management
• Recognizing the homestead as a site of pro-poor
  and gender-equitable productive water uses,
  besides domestic uses
• Moving from irrigation add-ons to
  community-scale MUS

5. Local government

• Permanent democratic interface to match
  communities needs with fragmented support
• Developing implementation capacity for iterative
  community-scale MUS (e.g. SADC seven steps
  approach)

municipal Integrated Development Plans

In sum Opportunities for Scaling-up MUS

• Water users, CBOs and NGOs
• Community-scale MUS for livelihoods
• Homestead-scale MUS a likely priority
• Domestic and productive sectors
• Merging resources and expertise on engineering
  and management across sites and scales
• Providing single-use expertise according to
  peoples priorities
• Local government the coordinator
