Lessons for sustainability & replicability
•Coordination and integration between social & technical wings is crucial and requires dedicated cooperation among stakeholders
•Negotiations and agreement on institutional arrangements for O&M and project governance need to be concluded in the 1st half of the project period
•Especially in drought prone areas projects should support drought-proof Income Generation Activities to ensure financial sustainability
