Abstract:
Although not the only issue to be considered, the design and construction of high-quality infrastructure is a prerequisite for sustainable rural water supply services. Support to the management, maintenance and repair of services, as well as post-construction monitoring are important. However, poor-quality infrastructure undermines everything that follows.
The policies, checks and balances by funding organisations, alongside the support that they provide to their Grantees, have a tremendous bearing on the quality of boreholes and handpumps, with a knock-on effect on the functionality and longevity of water supply services. Well-intentioned, but inappropriate Funder policies can actually have unintended, negative consequences on infrastructure quality.
This document urges funding agencies to be explicit in expecting infrastructure and services to be of high quality – and to foster a culture of quality. The set of four checklists presented should help organisations that are funding Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) projects and programmes to ask the right questions in relation to borehole and handpump design and construction quality. The checklists can support a self-assessment or an assessment of specific Grantees. The checklists could also be used when assessing applications, and/or to take stock part-way through an ongoing programme and enable organisations funding WASH to strengthen mechanisms and ultimately ensure that their Grantees follow good practices, with technical construction standards consistently upheld.
The four checklists are:
1. Direct implementation – boreholes
2. Direct implementation – handpumps
3. Direct implementation – post-construction monitoring and inspection
4. Indirect implementation – strengthening the enabling environment for service delivery that relies on borehole drilling and/or handpumps
