Major Achievements
Additional Grant Assistance from the World Bank/IDA
T
he International
Development
Association/The
World Bank has provided a Grant
assistance of US $ 27 million as an
additional financing to overcome the
cost deficiency for completing the
schemes of the Second Rural Water
Supply and Sanitation Project and
some additional schemes. The grant
agreement between GoN and the
World Bank was signed on August 26,
2008 at the Finance Ministry. Similarly,
the project agreement between the
World Bank and RWSSFDB was also
signed on the same occasion. The
World Bank that provided loan
assistance for the execution of the First
and Second RWSSPs has provided
grant assistance for the first time to
this project. In 2004 the World Bank
approved the Second Rural Water
Supply and Sanitation Project (RWSSP
II) – a follow-on project financed
through an IDA credit of US$25.3
million. In May 2008, the Bank
approved an IDA grant of US $27.0
million as additional financing.
Together, these resources are
expected to support close to 1,500
water supply and sanitation schemes
that will serve a population of more
than one million by Dec 31, 2010.
Original Project (RWSSP-II) Funds will
be Sufficient to complete only 881
schemes serving a population of
6,83,064. Additional Financing of US $
27 millions as grant has been signed
between the IDA/World Bank and
RWSSFDB on August 26, 2008 with the
time extension up to 2010 to complete
following schemes. Delivering water
supply and sanitation facilities in 582
communities will benefit some
4,07,400 additional people.

At the end of Dec 2008, the Board has
fully completed 571 schemes under
RWSS II. Approximately 67,000
household latrines and 560
institutional latrines have been
constructed and are being used. The
Board at the country level has been
contributing considerably in water
supply and sanitation sector to
support GoN in achieving the target
of current plan and millenium
development goal in the sector.
Progress Status Against PAD and Additional Financing Target in 2008
Year 2008 was the most crucial in terms of work performance since the activities of four batches were implemented simultaneously
in this year i. e., the activities of the Implementation Phase of Batch-V, the Development Phase and Implementation Phase of
Batch-VI and the Development Phase of Batch-VII and then the Pre-Development Phase of Batch-VIII. Works on SOs selection
criteria of Batch-IX was also initiated this year. The progress status in 2008 is summarized in Table -1 below.
