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.

Thoughtful and clear proposal. Important to recognize the challenges to sustainability and build capacity of local political bodies and other organizations.

Seems to be a good proposal overall, but I think that the financing (capital investment and O&M) needs to be cost-shared by the eventual beneficiaries. The days of free water are over. Even low-income water consumers should cost-share both capital investment (they could be required to dig all the pipelines trenches, for example, and pay for their individual house connections), as well as O&M costs. If not, the water wastage could be significant, and could possibly even undermine the system financial sustainability. Good luck.

Recommend for sustainability that community and Water for people organisation establish good cooperation/contract with Blantyre Water Board, since water will be provided by the Blantyre Water Board.

A good peri-urban project, though i am nervous on dependence on the gov't and lack of control over the water source.

WFP is a good organization and have considered the project well. Urban projects are not my favourite, but you can't argue with the need for them. I asked my question late, so maybe Wende will answer later, but it is not a deal breaker.
