Financial flow diagrams to promote policy-making, based on 20 community management case studies from India
2017
This paper reports the development of ‘Financial Flow Diagrams’ as a means of better communicating
complex financial information, directly inspired by the development of ‘Shit Flow Diagrams’, in this case
highlighting, for policy-makers, donors and service providers financial challenges. We describe the
design considerations investigated during the preparation of visual oriented financial communications.
This includes arguments about the merits and limitations of visuals and associated tools/software that
best display flows of resources (in our case financial). We then present visuals that were submitted for
testing across a panel of informants, some closely related to the Community Water Plus project, a 20
case study, 17 States research project of ‘successful’ community managed water schemes in India, which
provided the source financial information. Finally, we provide a critical analysis and feedback on the
limitations of using Financial Flow Diagrams as a mean to convey messages on funding distribution in
the context rural water supply.
