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 need for arsenic mitigation is tremendous. This project is good in that it is reaching an area outside of the government pipeline, but it is just a drop in the bucket unless efforts are made to create a model that is being scaled up and replicated by others to impact the many many thousands of people being affected.
Arsenic contamination is being dealt with different technologies, but the cause of contamination needs to be ascertained and worked on.
Tough area to work in - the abundance of clear water (though containing arsenic) make it a challenge.
Definitely should look into sanitation as a complement to the water projects. Good luck.
- The project is well planned to provide arsenic safe water to the community.
- The low cost technology is perfect in order to originate low arsenic safe water from the surrounding water bodies.
- The involvement of homogenous group is good.
Did not finish Review
They have a proven track record for this program. Since they have many projects already underway, I wouldn't mind seeing an in depth study on health improvement.
