Five Key Results

Major investments needed & data shows where

Seasonality is a major issue

Breakdown rates too high

Construction should be focused on fewer pump models

Coordination between agencies needs to be improved

Coordination Lacking

Up to 6+ agencies in same chiefdoms just in last 3 years!

Improve coordination to keep overheads low.

Up to 40% of points provide insufficient water in dry season

Better standards for location & construction required

Rainy season Dry Season

Breakdown rates are unacceptably high

22% of points built in 2011 already impaired

Local ownership & active management shown to improve performance and should be encouraged
