Clean drinking water and sanitation are of primary concern in terms of health improvement, environment protection and poverty alleviation. Since clean water and sanitation are basic rights, GoN is commited to deliver such services to its people. Access to clean water and sanitation is not a technical issue but it is also a crucial component of social and economic development. Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Fund Development Board (The Board) has been extending such sustainable and socially acceptable services with the support of partner organizations including prime role of the concerned communities. The Board has delivered water and sanitation facilities to around 0.6 million rural people in RWSSP-I and it is targeted to deliver such facilities to more than 0.8 million rural people in RWSSP-II.
