Drinking Water in Market Developments. The project has installed on a pilot basis a low-cost piped water supply system for drinking purposes at Haibatpur Growth Center in Jessore district, which is an arsenic-affected area. A water management committee within the market management committee (MMC) is managing the operation and maintenance of the system, and collects user fees. This approach to the supply of low-cost water in a growth center market (GCM) has proven to be feasible and may be replicated in future projects, while taking its shortcomings into account.

Subproject Appraisal Reports. Since SARs were prepared for each upazila, 96 SARs were produced. This was a huge and time consuming task that took almost two years to complete. It is recommended that future projects should produce SARs on the basis of districts or regions rather than upazila. This concept would have reduced the number of reports to 16 if prepared on a district basis or 2 if prepared on a regional basis.
