Keywords:
Barangay Water System, Samar, Case StudyAbstract
This study determined the factors affecting the success or failure of projects implemented in the barangay level. This study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches. However, the case study method was utilized to ensure the validity of the data from the informants. The study gathered data through focused-group discussion (FGD), documentary analysis and survey questionnaire. Based on the findings and conclusions, the study recommends the following: (1) readiness should be encouraged among the members of the community before the project being implemented and as an operation and maintenance group, (2) there should be an accredited organization to help the sustainability of the project being implemented and as an operation and maintenance group, (3) the importance of setting policies especially for tariffs collection should be promoted to support the operation and maintenance of the water system
projects, (4) the target beneficiaries and officials should be involved in the planning and project implementation, and (5) BLGU officials should establish strong collaboration, linkages and partnerships with different agencies and institutions to access financial support and technical expertise for the sustainability and maintenance of the project.
