Latest WASH Management Board Concept Update
RVWRMP has worked closely with the local government level since the beginning. Currently, the project is working in 27 core Rural Municipalities (RM) and has experience of working in 41 other RMs in Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces.
RVWRMP has worked together with RMs to create the WASH Management Board concept. The objective is to bring together relevant stakeholders for integrated management of water resources in the municipality. The WASH Board has both mandate and means to plan, implement, supervise, and monitor the sector in a successful manner. Recent additions to the concept include defining the role of the Water User and Sanitation Committee (WUSC) Network.
RVWRMP believes that WASH Boards can play a major role in ensuring sustainable WASH services in the future. Read more about the concept from the full paper and leaflet.
https://casinospelapp.com came to mind reading about WUSC Network roles being added to the concept, since clarifying who does what at the local level is usually where these integrated management ideas either hold together or fall apart. The part about the board having both mandate and means stood out to me, because in my experience with rural development projects the mandate often exists on paper while the budget and authority stay elsewhere. Curious how the 27 core RMs are handling that balance in practice.
