Much of its early work, such as that on low-cost technologies, demand-responsiveness, strategic sanitation planning, and participatory hygiene have now become standard approaches in the sector. Drawing from its field network in over 30 countries, the Program is continuing to explore new frontiers of knowledge. For example, it is identifying and testing private sector partnerships that provide services to the poor and helping its partners gain access to current sector practices. The Program has been a forerunner of a growing list of partnership programs managed by the World Bank. Its well-established global network, strong tradition of client responsiveness, and continuous open dialogue with World Bank clients in developing countries provide a model for development practice. The Program is focusing its attention and resources on the most critical countries and regions of its operation. It is building partnerships with a broader range of stakeholders and developing alliances with the leading international agencies and sources of knowledge in the sector. Limiting further overall growth, the Program's management is seeking to reduce fixed costs and increase flexibility to enable the WSP to reduce risk and better respond to opportunities and new client demands.  Réduire
