Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to World Bank documents, the proposed project aims to support the Government of Karnataka’s Jaladhare (as a part of the Jal Jeevan Mission) efforts while addressing the inter-related challenges of sustaining rural water supply. The Program Development Objective is to increase access to safely managed drinking water services and strengthen institutions to deliver sustainable services of drinking water to rural communities of Karnataka. The World Bank support to this program will flow through its Program for Results (PforR) financing instrument and will broadly fund two groups of activities in the state: one pertaining to creation of Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTCs) and the other pertaining to tank rejuvenation. The proposed KSRWSP will be implemented over the period of 2023-2028. 

The program area encompasses the entire state of Karnataka in terms of water supply, covering all 31 districts of the state. However, in respect to tank rejuvenation activities for promoting groundwater sustainability, the scope is limited to identified water-stressed districts.
