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.

Ropedugwell is too expensive for 38 persons. Ordinary hand pump can would reduce the cost. However effort on the sanitation program is good.

This is a solid proposal that will initiate what will be a long-term commitment to full coverage of sustainable sanitation over time.

Looks a good project.
Since we understand now that traditional pit latrines will be build, we recommend:
- to look at the water table of the area and make sure that drinking water wells and latrines are far enough from each other.
- look maybe to implement 1 Eco-san latrine as an example to be copied later.

It is a stretch for BPR to fund research trips, but if is part of the budget and project, then the results need to be applied to this sanitation project, not the next.

So look forward to the observations from the study and the results of the efforts in implementing.

- It is a great pleasure to know about the El Porvenir and its excellent work.
- The per person cost of safe drinking water though is high (47.36$), it can be considered as the local situation and the need of the community as a special case to solve the problem and mitigate the effect of diarrhea.
- The unit cost of the toilets comes to 28.68$. This is also equally important area which need to be tackled along with the drinking water issues.
- Hence we recommend the project for further sanction
