Existing facilities are often poorly designed and insufficiently maintained, and do not adequately provide urgently needed basic services. In line with the Government's policy to use a decentralized community management approach, the Project will enhance coverage of basic WSS facilities; contribute to timproving living and health conditions, in particular for the poor, and improve the institutional, organizational, and managerial capabilities of the oblasts. | ||||
