closed

The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project aims at increasing availability of water supply, and sanitation services in rural areas in Rwanda. The four main components call for: 1) provision of grants to communities, for the construction of water, and sanitation facilities. Furthermore, technical assistance, training, and outreach activities will be financed to strengthen community capacity in the operation and maintenance of those facilities; 2) demand-responsiveness in the rehabilitation of major water supply systems, and establish sustainable management of these systems; 3) strengthening stakeholder capacity to perform the tasks required within the rural water supply, and sanitation strategy, and ensure appropriate services to the community. Thus, the component will support private sector, and non-governmental organizations' in the provision of computer services, and, the public sector will facilitate the sub-sector development, and management process; and, 4) inclusion of incremental project management costs, and technical assistance to community development committees.
