water supply and sanitation facilities for the selected communities in 02 provinces of Sri-Lanka. Deviating from the conventional
subsidy based sanitation grant program, project (CWSSP) has given the new direction to establish community
managed, self-financed sustainable sanitation program on a pilot basis. This innovative approach is put into operation
