Abstract
The First Community Water and Sanitation
Project (CWSP-I), 1994-2000, was the World Bank's first
stand-alone rural water and sanitation project in Ghana. It
was designed to help achieve the objectives of the National
Community Water and Sanitation Program by: a) providing
basic water and sanitation services to communities that will
contribute toward the capital costs and pay the normal
operations, maintenance, and repair costs of their
facilities; b) ensuring sustainability of these facilities
through community management, including involvement of
women, private sector provision of goods and services, and
public sector promotion and support; and c) maximizing
health benefits by integrating water, sanitation, and
hygiene education interventions. This Notes summarizes some
of the target achieved and the lessons learned from the
implementation of the project.
