• Sustainability clause in DGIS contracts/arrangements:
providing assurances for sustainable WASH outcomes for at
least 10 years

accountability framework

'FIETS' principles of sustainability:
1.
Financial sustainability: diminish dependency on external subsidies, using the
principle “local finance first”.
2.
Institutional sustainability: ensure systems, institutions, policies and procedures at
the local and national level are functional to meet the (long term) demand of users
of water and sanitation services.
3.
Environmental sustainability: ensure long-term availability of natural resources,
climate resilience and a healthy environment.
4.
Technological sustainability: Seeking and applying locally appropriate technologies
of high quality, which are context-specific, affordable, durable and demand-driven.
5.
Social sustainability: Making WASH interventions demand-driven, inclusive and
needs-based, sensitive to local and cultural incentives.
