The paper highlights the learning from the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) component of Luang Namtha Provincial
Development Project (LNPDP), a project funded through IDA Credit from 1994 - 2002. The RWSS Component of
the project could not get off the ground for the first four years. Analysis showed the main reason was improper design of
the component and lack of attention to management and financial issues. The component was redesigned in 1999, and the
management and financial issues were addressed. The RWSS Component was ultimately implemented in a proper manner.
The project completion evaluation shows that the RWSS Component turned out as one of the most successful components
of the project.
