The objectives of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project are to raise living standards in rural areas of Nepal by: (i) delivering sustainable health and hygiene benefits to the rural population through improvements in water supply and sanitation; (ii) improving rural real incomes by assisting women to identify ways to earn income from time saved in carrying water; and (iii) improving governmental and nongovernmental capabilities to undertake and sustain these efforts. The first of three project components is the establishment and operation of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Fund Development Board. The second is the selection and construction of rural water supply and sanitation schemes. The last is to conduct Institutional Development and Studies.
