The Building Block analysis workshop was concluded successfully in Samsi Rural Municipality, Mahottari district, on the 20th of Baisakh. This workshop, conducted through participatory discussion, in collaboration with Samsi Rural Municipality (RM), aimed to assess the situation of the WASH systems of the RM using nine building block indicators.
The workshop was conducted under the chairmanship of RM chairperson Ramnath Yadav and participation from ward chairpersons, ward secretaries, heads of various departments, women's group leaders, cooperative managers, tole committee members, and local resource persons. The workshop was facilitated by the Project Coordinator Dipendra Gautam, who divided the participants into five groups to analyze the building block indicators. Following the group discussions, representatives presented their self-evaluation scoring and received constructive feedback from other participants.
While discussions in the workshop focused on deep boring and overhead tanks in most wards, insufficient budgets pose challenges in implementing these plans. The RM Chairperson highlighted the allocation of funds for the next five years but acknowledged the need for additional resources to meet the RM’s objectives effectively.
