The Asian Development Bank (ADB) requested the financial and economic design of the WSS reform program, along with the financial and economic analyses required to support these reforms. This analysis would involve the assessment of past donor projects and the assessment of the financial sustainability and economic viability of demonstration projects. The study would include a willingness-to-pay survey, which would be used as the basis to develop a new tariff and subsidy mechanism. ADB also requested assistance in preparing an Asset Ownership Plan, which would determine ownership and management of rural WSS assets. Once the reform program design was complete, the final piece of the project would be to deliver the basic training required to operationalize the new rules, regulations and approaches.
