- Description
-
The Project, developed as a sector loan under the framework of Government of Nepal's poverty alleviation focus in the 10th National Development Plan, focuses on providing rural water supply and sanitation (RWSS) facilities and services to improve the community health and provide opportunities for income generation. It will provide improved RWSS services to about 1,200 rural communities in 21 districts throughout Nepal, addressing the needs of about 850,000 people in districts and communities selected according to criteria related to povery, WSS coverage, diarrheal disease incidence, willingness to cost-share, and historically underserved gender, caste and disadvantaged groups. Its approach reflects the recently approved RWSS Sector Strategy and its associated Action Plan, both developed through an extensive consensus building process carried out prior to and during the PPTA.

- Objectives and Scope
-
The overall goal is to reduce poverty, improve living conditions and quality of life in poor, remote rural communities where water is often difficult to obtain and of poor quality, typically resulting in a high incidence of water-borne diarrheal diseases. The objectives are to: (i) Strengthen participating communities capacity and capability to plan, co-finance, implement, operate and maintain improved water supply and sanitation facilities; (ii) Rectify historical inequities in access to WSS and health services by gender, caste and disadvantaged ethnic groups; (iii) Using a community based approach, expand the coverage of improved WSS facilities to underserved populations, especially to poor and remote areas that have been historically neglected in sectoral development; (iv) Improve community, family and individual health by maximizing health benefits from improved WSS facilities through targeted programs for health promotion and sanitation and hygiene behavioral change; (v) Develop the capacity and capability of a wide range of sectoral support organizations, including both public and private sector and NGOs, to provide more efficient and cost-effective support to communities and local governments to improve RWSS service delivery; (vi) Promote good governance, eliminate corruption and substantially increase transparency to maximize the benefits of sectoral development financing; (vii) Substantially increase stakeholder involvement at all levels of Project implementation, and complement the activities of other assistance agencies involve in the sector; (viii) Promote sectoral integration through dissemination and replication of successful strategies, approaches, policies and procedures developed by other sectoral development groups, including NGOs and the private sector; (ix) Support and strengthen Government's decentralization efforts by focusing Project activities and decision making at the local government and community levels; (x) Further promote the evolving peace process by prioritizing delivery of RWSS and health services in previously conflict-affected areas.
