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.

The sustainability of the sanitation component is questionable. Since the latrines will last a few years (always less than projected span), and there is no revenue model, there will be a need to fund more latrines and there is no way to remove the old eyesores either.

The strategy used for community mobilisation, maintenance, people's contribution is significant.

The low cost technology for pumping of water which requires negligible maintenance is remarkable.

Truly excellent and should be financed. I look forward to exploring sanitation results after the project is done as this is a challenge for us all.
