Abstract

This guidance note introduces the concept and the operationalisation of MUS as an innovative approach that brings together the various actors and sectors by introducing a consultative process to maximise the efficiency of water usage, sustainability and cost-effectiveness. For Concern, this approach is particularly meaningful in water-scarce contexts like drylands, where households face difficulties in sustaining water resources to meet their needs, or in sub-humid contexts where water systems have the potential to meet larger demands. With the population growing and climate change impacting hydrological systems, meeting people’s multiple demands for water will most likely become more challenging in the future.

This guidance note is targeted at Programme Directors, Managers and Advisors in both the WASH and livelihood sectors involved in the design and implementation of integrated and multi-sectorial programmes.
