Abstract
This chapter is an attempt to synthesise discussion from previous chapters of this volume in the form of an iterative guide to undertaking broad-based and participatory planning. Planning, by being able to accommodate the spending instincts of line departments, the cost-recovery impulses of finance mandarins and consumer/politicians inclination to exit from commitments to pay for services holds the key to enhanced service delivery. Planning clinics can put the spotlight on a larger set of institutional factors that constrain delivery of basic services like funds, functions and functionaries or transfers, taxes and tariffs. This chapter discusses an example of a WSP supported urban sanitation intervention in Indonesia to highlight the usefulness of a gradual and staggered approach to bottom up planning through which consensus for critical aspects of a reform agenda is crafted.

Rudiments of an interesting pro-poor mapping technique for water services is presently being supported in the slums of Kampala, Uganda by KfW, Germany. The approach involves overlaying a map of the location of the poor on the water supply infrastructure coverage map. Grids are drawn and the poorest of the poor are identified within these grids. Dedicated staff are put in charge of selling credit to households from community stand pipes. Tamper proof water metres record water use and credit is sold using GPRS technology (similar to pre-paid telephone calling cards). So far, 6,000 households have been successfully covered and given the enormous potential for scale up an OBA approach is currently being formulated with support from the World Bank.
