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.
We appreciate the community led water and sanitation system being implemented for the marginalised and poor rural communities involving each and every family in the village without exception.
The people's contribution (over 30%), operational and maintenance charges through community assests created is remarkable.
The strategy is well planned which covers all the issues and aspects required for the successful implementation.
The project involves the community in more ways then one and especially impacts women and children.
One word of caution is would the toilets pollute the groundwater especially with nitrate . This is of particular concern since groundwater seems to be the predominant source of drinking water.
Another concern is the sustainability of bore wells. Hopefully they are replensihed enough and will not go dry as they have in many parts of Karnataka and Andhra.
