The water supply of the village of Pakora, in the Ghizer District of Northern Pakistan, was given to the community by the Local Bodies and Rural Development Department (LB&RDD) for political reasons. Mistakes in construction and failure to introduce a payment system for maintenance has resulted in a disfunctioning water system for most of the time since it was completed. This was the conclusion of the community in Pakora, when the PAR team stepped in to analyse what had gone wrong and how improvements could be achieved.
