The impact of the Project Preparatory technical Assistance (PPTA) is improved basic water supply and sanitation infrastructure and services in emerging small towns in Nepal. Its outcome is a project design and feasibility study agreed by Government and ADB. The PPTA is expected to formulate a comprehensive design for a sector development program. Specific outputs will consist of (i) a revised urban water and sanitation sector policy and development plan, institutional assessment and policy matrix for proposed sector improvements; (ii) a feasibility study for integrated water supply and sanitation in emerging towns suitable for ADB financing that emphasizes inclusive development and responds to needs expressed by the community regarding priority infrastructure; and (iii) capacity development assistance for expediting project implementation and institutionalizing mechanisms for sustainable community-based infrastructure development.
