Abstract

This paper is an interim document to provide partners with the basic aggregations of household survey data. The survey provides information on environmental burdens that are linked to limited service provision, including sewerage and solid waste management facilities and their links to, and impact on poverty. The project is part of a wider project encompassing six cities around the world. In Colombo (Sri Lanka) the study used water and sanitation as an entry-point to develop a model of participatory service provision that addresses how best to deliver different types of services to the urban poor.
