WSP has the mandate and funding for a structured program to identify, develop and institutionalize potential best practices for the delivery of WSS services to the poor. WSP proposes to initiate this process by carrying out a detailed assessment of existing policies, regulatory and legal frameworks, and administrative mechanisms used by DJB to target and serve urban poor /underserved populations in Delhi. The project looks at assisting and supporting the WSP to implement the community-level pilot projects with community mobilization, organization and capacity building for better demand articulation; building and strengthening two-way information flows between communities and policymakers/service providers; supporting active partnerships in specific elements of service delivery (for e.g., planning & design, O&M, community contracting for infrastructure development, collection systems and M&E); and development of alternative financing arrangements for new infrastructure/connections, etc. CURE will closely partner with local NGOs active in the selected communities to implement these projects
