Application Rating and Comment Explanation
The rating and comment reflect the reviewer's opinion of the project's potential for success, though we need to see the diversity of the reviewers and their rating style across projects.
The rating is a number from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Excellent).
Note that it is difficult to compare applications due to their diversity, and therefore the comment provides a very important context to the number. It reflects the reviewer’s thoughts and recommendations regarding this application; why they feel this project will or will not be successful.

High budget $62 per person. Maintenance of the system that uses pipes is vague. Need a proper set up to make the system sustainable. Progress reports of past projects are missing. Reports, pictures and statements of the prospective beneficiaries and users always give credibility.

seems like a strong project. the cost to beneficiary is good. the amount of community contribution looks ambitious considering the prevalent poverty. people have ties to the land which will help drive positive results.

Within the category of gravity systems I believe that the work done par Agua Para La Salud and directed by Lynn Roberts is very competent and seasoned. The issues that arte brought up and the solutions that are chosen are very similar to those we have learned about ourselves over the years. And financing the projects through Peer Water Review seem to me to be indicated in so far as I get the feeling financing for APLS comes hard as it does for us.

This project that completes an earlier project should be supported.
Would like to see the total cost of system to the population and see where the $/beneficiaries come out.

The project is well designed with the active involvement and participation of the village community in the implementation and post project period.
The gravity flow water supply system is appropriate solution and technology to provide drinking water in the remote and interior hilly area. The technology is simple, indigenous, eco-friendly, maintenance free easy and easily accepted by the village community.
The village community is in need and deserves the support for rehabilitation to solve the drinking water problem, as they are totally displaced and have lost their assets during the civil war.
Though per person cost is very high but considering the situation, felt need of the people, anticipating the benefits to more households and population in future - we strongly recommend the project for the PWX.
