Rural Water Supply & Sanitation Program (RWSSP)
The project was conceived and identified in 1988-89. Its preparation process was initiated in late 1989. The documents of PC-1 and Staff Appraisal Report were produced in early 1991. The project was one part of the umbrella project principally financed by the International Development Association (IDA). Under the umbrella project the other two parts were of the provinces of Sindh and Baluchistan. Major emphasis of the AJK part of the project was focused on the community based rural water supply and related services. About 74% project cost estimates were for physical works comprising water supply schemes, school latrines and private household latrines. About 26% project cost estimates were earmarked for institutional development. Institutional development component was spread over incremental staffing of LG&RDD, training and logistic supports, community development including sanitation and hygiene education program and consultancy etc.
