Project Details  Project Rationale Project Rationale A ADB-financed TA carried out a project formulation work for the current undertaking i.e. Dhaka Water Supply Sector Development Project (DWSSDP). The detailed study examined different areas of DWASA’s technical, operational and management aspects. Among others, it clearly identified the spectrum of current urban growth trend, demand for water supply services, the umbrella of such service recipients, doables of DWASA to address the pertinent needs, especially in the face of Dhaka’s frighteningly rapid population growth, reform imperatives spanning technical, managerial and financial fronts inclusive of the all important capacity development needs to help DWASA do its job better in the foreseeable future. In addition, GoB’s adoption of the SDP for water supply and sanitation sector that provides the road map for investment outlay for the future and prioritization of immediately addressable areas also provide the ground for the GoB and donors to invest in the stated project.
