The aim of this manual is to encourage, support and develop the skills of CSO members to take action to reform urban water and sanitation utilities.

This is a reference manual to show some of the methods and tactics that can be used to make a difference. Various case studies show that CSO-driven urban water and sanitation reforms really do work.
