The Alternative Management model project is the result of 3 years of research, groundwork, and collaboration with partners and the local/national government.  Oxfam in Nepal’s vision is to develop an appropriate management model for the sustainability of the water supply system through its Alternative Management Model Project. The project is piloting a management model with Rural Water Supply Management Board as the governing body against the traditional model managed by the water user committee. The model ensures the sustainability of water supply schemes through the engagement of national, public, and private sector stakeholders.
