The objective of this symposium is to share and consolidate experiences and lessons learnt around multiple-use water services, and discuss implications for taking the approach forward. The symposium is organized by the MUS (Multiple Use Services) Group, a community-of-practice of organizations working in this field, together with RiPPLE (Research-inspired Policy and Practice Learning in Ethiopia and the Nile Region), a research consortium that provides evidence-based learning to support water and sanitation implementation programmes in Ethiopia and the Nile Region.
