Abstract

Over the past years, the Government has issued many policies and focused economic resources to develop rural water supply networks, especially for remote mountainous areas. However, operation and maintenance (O&M) works have not been paid proper attention, leading to situations of bad operation, even after a short time of operation. Uneffective operation of some works in the Northwest region are examples for the statement. Most rural water supply works in the region were handed over to local people or/and the communes’ government for O&M theirshelves. Lack of technical trainings for operators  is an issue that affecting O&M arrangement. Besides, most investments for rural water supply in the Northwest are only subsidy purposes, which aims to ensure social security. Thus most of the investment depends on the state budget, have not utilized socialization resources. Therefore, rural water supply investments, particularly O&M are facing many difficulties and challenges. This paper is to assess the status of participations of sides in investments, works management, and from the assessment results, to propose solutions for improving effectiveness of rural water supply works management in the Northwest region.
