<strong>part</strong>icipation in 1985 and 1986, village committees established<br />
Wring tbe early yesrs of the project continued to function and<br />
play an active role in the manegement and maintenance of water<br />
supply systcps canstmctcd by the CGDB. Limited manitoring and<br />
evaluation of results led to the modification of the preliminary<br />
WAPP approach and the desigr: for tke Cunmunfty Assessment and<br />
Participation Pragram [CAP?).<br />
2.5.1. The Community Assessment and Participation Program (CAPF)<br />
This section briefly describes the community <strong>part</strong>icipation<br />
strategy developed by L39I and implemented during 1982, 3983<br />
and, on a very limited scale, from 1984 through 1986.<br />
~dditional information on rationale, content and preliminary<br />
results can be found in other LBII reports that include: Raark<br />
(19821, LBTX (1983 Exploratory Report, section 6-01, 3chwarz<br />
(19831, USAID CGDP Supplement PP (3984: Annex J), the LbII Final<br />
Report (1985: <strong>part</strong> 5). The mark (1982) and LBII (1983)<br />
dacumusnts fully describe the process of conunity <strong>part</strong>fcipatian<br />
in site selection, village self-assessnents and the organization<br />
of project water committees. The Schwarz (1983) document<br />
includes an lategrated program of comnity <strong>part</strong>icipation,<br />
constriction, . onitoring and evalrzation which form the basis of<br />
%he CAPP, It describes in detail, the stagss and activities<br />
sumarized belaw.<br />
(3) Purpose and 23tionale<br />
The goal of the CAPP is the same as that of the CGDP: to<br />
strengthen the capacity cf WDA to install, operate and mai~tain<br />
rilral water supply systens. It focuses on the rural populations<br />
and the development of their ability to contribute to the<br />
design, construction and management of water supply systems.<br />
The appraash calls for dose cooperation among technical<br />
personnel, cornunity <strong>part</strong>icipation specialists and village<br />
ieaders, It involves integrated planning and the coordination<br />
of technical and sociological actfviti~z from the design stage<br />
through the operations and maintenance period.<br />
The program is based on principles of social and technolog-<br />
ical change an2 the aaalysis cf w ater development projects in<br />
other countries, The majar premise is that the successful<br />
adoption of a new technology, <strong>part</strong>icularly a complex water<br />
system, requires organizational change in the client community.<br />
At the project level, this req-sires a plan tr: explain and<br />
generate support for the new technology and a series of meetings<br />
to guide villager <strong>part</strong>icipation at various stages of project<br />
Inplementation.<br />
