Title: Technical work of women in Nepal's rural water supply and sanitation
Abstract: The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Support Programme (RWSSSP) in Western Nepal trained more than 940 persons as village maintenance workers, local latrine builders, rainwater harvesting jar masons and water technicians. Of these, 116 were women. This study investigated the status of these women years after the training, paying attention to the technical quality of work, personal attitudes, views of the family and community, and socio-economic impacts. The interviewed women were positive about the training and related work, 77% were working, and all clearly had the support of their family members. Yet, there are many areas for improvement.
