The project plan and objective is to provide safe drinking water to 160 HH (1,100 people) of the Narakot village and school, with a sustainable system. In order to do so, the project will take a two-pronged approach (1) Provide post-construction maintenance of water structures (intake, pipeline, RVT, tap stands) to restore full functionality of village water scheme and (2) strengthen the capacity of Water and Sanitation Users Committee (WSUC) in terms of maintenance, PMC and health and sanitation in order to ensure the sustainability of the project.

Target benchmarks

  • 1 functioning water systems
  • 1100 persons with access to improved water for 15 years

Expected Outcomes
• 1,100 people of 160 households have sustainable access to safe drinking water
• More than 600 students from school will have access to safe drinking water
• Significant reduction in water fetching time for women and girls


Target benchmarks

  • 1 functioning water systems
  • 1100 persons with access to improved water for 15 years

Providing maintenance support to the water scheme is the first step. However, if local organisations do not have the capacity to maintain the functionality of the water scheme, then the results of this project will be short-lived. As such, this project will provide 13 days of training to WSUC members. Trainings will include: PMC training, post-construction, care-taker and skilled labour training, and human rights, conflict transformation and peace building training.

The objective of providing capacity building support to WSUC will ensure the water scheme’s sustainability for years to come.
