Objectives

The specific objectives of the programme are:

• To ensure people’s participation in all stages of the water resources infrastructure rehabilitation project (selection, planning, implementation, Operation and Maintenance [O&M] and monitoring and evaluation [M&E]).
• To establish sustainable water management in the selected sub-projects with active participation of people and to develop and improve local people’s traditional knowledge, skill and capacity in planning, implementing and managing their water resources and systems.
• To transfer the management responsibilities (fully or partially) from BWDB to the people of the community, through democratically established Water Management Organisations (WMOs).
