| Summary: | This synthesis report details the
process, outputs, intermediate outcomes, lessons learned,
and recommendations of the World Bank executed technical
assistance (TA) on strengthening local providers for
improved rural water supply in Pakistan implemented by the
water and sanitation program of the global water practice.
The development objective of this TA was to support the
Government of Punjab (GoPunjab) in strengthening service
provision by communities to ensure improved access to rural
water supply, particularly for the marginalized and poor.
These objectives were targeted through capacity building and
introducing systems to better respond to community needs to
manage rural water schemes via community based organizations
(CBOs). This TA was primarily focused on the province of
Punjab having a population of 100 million with of which 60
percent population live in rural areas. From inception, this
TA was focused on institutional strengthening and
sustainability. The back-up support mechanism for CBOs and
information and communication technology (ICT) monitoring of
scheme performance are extremely significant initiatives to
have been integrated into the government system. |
