The guidelines consist of three books: Book 1: Concept, Principles and Practice Book 2: Additional Notes for Policy Makers and Planners Book 3: Ensuring the Participation of the Poor. Concepts, Principles and Practice is intended for practitioners- engineers, social facilitators, financial specialists and managers - implementing water supply and sanitation projects in rural and peri-urban areas. This book is divided into two parts. The concept of demand is introduced in Part I, explaining what demand is and how it can be used to guide project design. Part II shows how the concept and principles described in Part I can be translated into practice, ensuring that vulnerable groups are included in the process.
