The GPOBA intervention supports Manila Water's flagship program, launched in 1998, the 'Water for the Community' or Tubig Para sa Barangay (TPSB) program, which provides a regular supply of clean, safe, and affordable drinking water to the urban poor. The scheme builds on the successful track record of the TPSB program and seeks to speed up rollout of individual connections to poor households through one-time subsidies to cover the cost of the connection fee.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO WATERBENEFICIARY COMMUNITIESBILL COLLECTIONBULK SUPPLYCOMMUNITY LEADERSCONCESSION AGREEMENTCONCESSION CONTRACTCONNECTION CHARGECONNECTION CHARGESCONNECTION FEECONNECTION FEESDELIVERY OF WATERDELIVERY OF WATER SUPPLYDRINKING WATERHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLDSIMPROVING WATER SUPPLYINDIVIDUAL CONNECTIONSINTERNAL PLUMBINGLOCAL COMMUNITYLOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDSMETROPOLITAN WATERWORKSNUMBER OF BENEFICIARIESPOTABLE WATERPOTABLE WATER SUPPLYPROGRAMSPROVISION OF SERVICESPROVISION OF WATERSANITATIONSERVICE CONNECTIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVISIONSEWERAGESEWERAGE SERVICESSEWERAGE SYSTEMTOILETURBAN AREAWASTEWATERWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER SERVICESWATER COMPANYWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER METERWATER PRESSUREWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWorld Bank10.1596/10977
