The handbook consists of a set of guidelines, setting out the information requirements, and accompanying case studies which illustrate how the guidelines might be followed for specific projects. The guidelines and case studies are mainly addressed to proponents of water supply and sanitation projects in the developing countries. They explain the process of project development from the perspective of the agencies which might be asked to provide financial assistance. Guidelines are suggested and illustrated for the reports based on completion of three successive stages of pre-investment planning for specific projects : identification, pre-feasibility and feasibility. In addition, a guideline is provided for preparing a program of rural water supply and sanitation
