Community Partnership For Sustainable Water Management

In 'Community Partnership For Sustainable Water Management', a collaborative research team presents findings from the Final Evaluation Study of the Systems Rehabilitation Project (SRP). This report is one of six documents, comprising a summary and five thematic reports, that together capture a year of intensive research and discussion on the project's various dimensions.

The study was led by John Soussan from the University of Leeds and Anjan Datta from Sanghamitra Gobeshana Kendra, with contributions from teams at BUET, the EGIS project, and SRP itself. Funded by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Dhaka, the research draws on an inter-disciplinary, inter-organisation approach. The conclusions reached carry important implications for how donors and stakeholders should adapt their approach to designing and monitoring similar projects in the future.

This report is valuable reading for development practitioners, water sector professionals, and researchers interested in community participation and sustainable resource management. It demonstrates how rigorous evaluation can generate practical insights for improving development interventions.
