Water and Sanitation Program-South Asia (WSP-SA), in partnership with Government of Pakistan (GoP) agencies, has been working to implement the Rio/ Dublin Principles in the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) sector in the country. Notable progress has been made, although considerable challenges remain. The overarching objectives of RWSS development activities continue to be improving access to, quality of, and gender and spatial equity in, delivery of services. In order to achieve these objectives, adoption of community-driven and demand-responsive implementation arrangements, leads to substantial savings in capital and recurrent project costs and also strengthens sustainablity. Component-sharing is a very effective strategy to implement Demand-Responsive Approaches (DRAs). This field note presents three models of component-sharing with differing elements necessitated by the specific environment of each model: - Local Government and Rural Development Department's (LG & RDD) water supply schemes in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. - Sanitation schemes in Lodhran district of the Punjab being implemented by Lodhran Pilot Project (LPP) - The erstwhile Public Health Engineering Department's (PHED) pilot water supply schemes in Sindh.
