This report evaluates Finland's participation in the water and sanitation sector from 1995 through 2009. Drawing from previous assessments as well as original research, the authors evaluate the country's performance in the water sector of its partner countries Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal and Vietnam through an evaluation matrix. Most of the projects in these countries are water and sanitation for rural and small towns, though a few more recent projects in Ethiopia and Nepal focus on water resource management. The evaluation urges the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland (MFA) to better globally disseminate information on a few of its projects that they consider to be "jewels in the crown", particularly Community Development Funds in Ethiopia and Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (Support) Programme in Nepal. Scaling up and replication present important challenges
