RWSSs carry risks of unsustainability in their post-implementation phase. In Sri Lanka, the integration of rural women with entrepreneurial and management skills into RWSS operations is expected to help improve sustainability and begin a positive cycle of development. The working paper presents qualitative findings and recommendations according to a case study-based analysis of 11 RWSSs in the districts.
