SRSP Role in Physical Infrastructure Development

• Undertake socio economic profile at each location where SRSP is organizing the community. At locations where PI&WES is a high priority need,
  prepare a detailed portfolio of schemes in partnership with the concerned community.
• Execute some of the schemes in an innovative and participatory manner, through the financial support of donors, as a research and demonstration activity so that their feasibility could be shown to government and other agencies.

In many instances, drinking water and sanitation facilities, are the top priority needs. SRSP's experience of working with the communities have been encouraging. Communities are eager to contribute towards their own development, especially when they know that their contribution will be channelized into the development of their own localities. When the people are involved in decision making, they are willing to provide manpower, and accept the responsibility of operation and maintenance of schemes

Now it is the time where people have started asking the government quarters, are they willing to participate in the people programmes. The participatory approach is not merely meant for installation of water supply and sanitation schemes, rather it is aimed at changing the attitude of the people towards themselves, to each other, and their environment, the process of empowering the people is fostered,
