However, in 2016, only 34 percent of water supply was reported to be safe and 15 percent met the national water quality standards. More efforts are also needed to improve sanitation, given that only 34 percent of urban households have septic tanks and only 15 percent have sewer connections. Overall, municipalities lack funds and skilled personnel to provide cost-effective services.</p> <p>Since 2000, ADB said it has successfully supported the Government of Nepal in improving water supply and sanitation services based on a community-driven cost-sharing approach in 70 small towns through three projects, introducing continuous water supply and household connections, and subsidizing water services to poor and vulnerable households.</p> <p>The new project will support the installation or repair of 1,600 kilometers (km) of water supply pipes and 15 water treatment plants each with an estimated capacity of 600,000 liters a day. This will result in 66,000 households being connected to piped water. About 8,000 toilets will also be constructed along with 20 public toilets suitable for both genders and the disabled. Among other activities, the project will construct two wastewater treatment plants and 30 km of stormwater drainage.</p> <p>The project will also prepare water, sanitation, and hygiene plans for all project municipalities; support local water user associations and committees; train staff; and carry out awareness campaigns on water conservation and hygiene behavior.</p> <p>Poor and vulnerable households will be covered through subsidized connections to the piped water supply. According to the ADB, women will benefit in particular from less time spent on collecting and managing water and from opportunities for work, training, project consultations, and participation in the 20 water users’ and sanitation committees that will be set up. </p> <p>The total cost of the project is $178.5 million, of which the government and beneficiaries will contribute $48.5 million.

However, in 2016, only 34 percent of water supply was reported to be safe and 15 percent met the national water quality standards. More efforts are also needed to improve sanitation, given that only 34 percent of urban households have septic tanks and only 15 percent have sewer connections. Overall, municipalities lack funds and skilled personnel to provide cost-effective services.</p> <p>Since 2000, ADB said it has successfully supported the Government of Nepal in improving water supply and sanitation services based on a community-driven cost-sharing approach in 70 small towns through three projects, introducing continuous water supply and household connections, and subsidizing water services to poor and vulnerable households.</p> <p>The new project will support the installation or repair of 1,600 kilometers (km) of water supply pipes and 15 water treatment plants each with an estimated capacity of 600,000 liters a day. This will result in 66,000 households being connected to piped water. About 8,000 toilets will also be constructed along with 20 public toilets suitable for both genders and the disabled. Among other activities, the project will construct two wastewater treatment plants and 30 km of stormwater drainage.</p> <p>The project will also prepare water, sanitation, and hygiene plans for all project municipalities; support local water user associations and committees; train staff; and carry out awareness campaigns on water conservation and hygiene behavior.</p> <p>Poor and vulnerable households will be covered through subsidized connections to the piped water supply. According to the ADB, women will benefit in particular from less time spent on collecting and managing water and from opportunities for work, training, project consultations, and participation in the 20 water users’ and sanitation committees that will be set up. </p> <p>The total cost of the project is $178.5 million, of which the government and beneficiaries will contribute $48.5 million. The targeted completion date for the project is October 2023.</p> <p>ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members—48 from the region. In 2017, ADB operations totaled $32.2 billion, including $11.9 billion in cofinancing.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-09-27', 'modified' => '2018-09-27', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8970', 'image' => '20180927040637_ADB-logo (1).jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-09-27 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9189', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Coca-Cola Launches "Mann Kholau Coke Sanga" Campaign ', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'September 27: Coca-Cola Nepal has said that it has come up with the third edition of "Mann Kholau Coke Sanga" campaign.', 'content' => '<p>September 27: Coca-Cola Nepal has said that it has come up with the third edition of "Mann Kholau Coke Sanga" campaign.
