The Kachner Tanda (hamlet) No. 5 is the hamlet of Kachner village. The village communities are nomadic tribes belonging to Rajput Banjara (Lamhan). We have implemented a water system allowing the village access to a safe water supply.
- Impact Assessment (M&E) Phase Project completed on 31 Jan, 2008 Implementation Phase
- Implementation Phase Project started on 1 Apr, 2007 Preparation Phase
How it Works
Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.
If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.
Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.

Sustainability
Creating and measuring long-term impact
The maintenance cost as per revenue model works out to $441 per year. The yearly contribution is being collected by the Water Committee. This would be used for the maintenance and for reserve funds for the replacement of spare parts and major repairs etc. in the long run after 5-7 years.
Other Issues
Unusual and unexpected issues faced during project execution
Due to the increase in cost of the raw material (steel, cement, sand etc) required for construction of water storage tank and well there was an increase of USD 750 for the same. This additional cost was incurred by the village community.
Learnings
Knowledge of project and process for sharing
The drinking water activity has helped the village community to come together for a common cause and helped to strengthen their unity and integrity.
- The implementing agency should be clear about the non-compromisable (peoples contribution, quality of work, maintenance atleast of one year in advance) and should try to achieve these through participatory methods.
Impact
People Getting Safe Drinking Water: 331
The entire village has now access to safe drinking water.
People Getting Sanitation: 132
The whole village now has access to safe drinking water. This is used for domestic purpose and for the livestock for drinking water.
- 4 families have constructed individual toilets and the others families are in the process of constructing the same.
- There is awareness regarding the health and hygiene among the villagers.
- Now due to access to safe drinking water, water borne diseases will reduce.
