Description

The showcase would focus on community-based development initiatives through social mobilization. CIDP enabled local communities to solve their water supply problems by encouraging them to organize themselves in several self-governing Community Organizations (CO) and to establish Community saving funds. COs were able to take stock of their situation, identify needs, set priorities and decide what resources they can contribute towards the solution. They participated in the design of water supply system and its construction. The programme also developed an alternative institutional and organizational model for community-based water supply O&M management, where COs were authorized to autonomously manage, operate and maintain the systems through Community Based Enterprises. Thus, development of communal infrastructure served as an entry point for the promotion of good governance and hence to reduction of poverty.
