Available Tools

Steps to develop FSM toolbox
1. Identify “Requirements” from key players
Types of tool for eachkey player in 7 aspects
such as• Guidelines for developmentof FSM projects• Compilation of FSM
documents• FSM situational analysis tool
• Performance monitoring tool
• Interactive tools on FSM
technology selection• FSM business andmanagement models• Advocacy tool for
stakeholder sensitization• Trainings module andcourses

Invention of toolbox: Intensive studies on 6 cities as reference

Testing Effectiveness : Implementation on selected 4 cities
based on FSM data availability
Capacity Building
At least 2 development banks or investors deploy FSM
planning toolkits
City planner/utility managers from at least 50 cities acrossAsia and Africa aware of the availability of FSM planning toolkits
At least 50 consulting companies aware of the FSM planningtoolkits
