Project Follow-up and Sustainability of Integrated Water Supply, Sanitation and Health Education Program

Agency : KfW through Government of Germany and Government of Rajasthan

The Project Follow-up Unit (PFU) was established to develop sustainability mechanism for Aapni Yojna, the Integrated Drinking Water and Sanitation Project, which was implemented in 370 villages of three desert districts of Rajasthan, namely Churu, Hanumangarh and Jhunjhunu.

During the 10-year long project, a regular water supply has been made to the villagers in collaboration with KfW, the GoR and IIHMR. While the GoR developed the infrastructure and the hardware, llHMR led community mobilization for user charges for water consumption, education, water resource management at the local level through Water and Health Committees, installation of sanitary latrines and soakage pits, and water stand posts in the community. The project was a great success and emerged as a sustainable and replicable model at the national and international levels.

The main objective of PFU was to put in place sustainability measures and build the capacity of community based organizations to work as an egual partner with the service providers. It was to ensure that the community and community based organizations can sustain and manage the project. PFU had the following objectives: a) reduction of wastage of water; b) contribution by the community towards cost recovery; c) creating awareness of and responsibilities for the consumption of water; d) implementing the construction of low cost sanitation facilities; and d) implementing ad-hoc measures in the villages
