Sustainability Management committees have been established:
UP, UZ, UNO, DPHE were involved committee members themselves are the part of
beneficiaries Ownership has been created
Beneficiaries pay small amount per month This money are being used for operation,
maintenance & servicing of the plants Caretakers have been appointed by the
management committees
Page 14SED, GIZ Bangladesh9th April 2014
Lessons Learnt
Have to install more such plants in coastal region Management committee is not proactive at all
areas Some areas people are less interested to pay Caretakers need to be supervised Comprehensive monitoring and evaluation is
required
