Abstract

This Data Brief focuses on perceptions of wellbeing of Under-served Settlement (USS) households as well as income and expenditure patterns, and satisfaction regarding access to existing service provision. It provides an introduction to the Baseline Survey sampling, providing information on environmental burdens that are linked to limited service provision, including sewerage and solid waste management facilities and their impact on poverty. The Colombo (Sri Lanka) study uses water and sanitation as an entry-point to develop a model of participatory service provision that addresses how best to deliver different types of urban services to the urban poor.
