Review process

By Peer Water Exchange Posted on Wed 05 Aug 2009, over 15 years ago

This application will not go thru peer review.

It will get a combination of 3 results:
- the peer review of a similar application last year
- the peer review of this years application
- the reports and results of the 3 projects:
Kalembo,, Luwawasi,, and Chandarua, funded last year.

Regarding the numbers for people impacted in this application:
Please fix the numbers - they are not correct nor in the right place. This is not a school project and so that number should be zero as also the sanitation number as this project does not involve installing sanitation facilities.

Also, check out the rope pump video on HPPI profile and their application. Maybe that can be used here.

Budget question

By Peer Water Exchange Posted on Wed 19 Aug 2009, over 15 years ago

Looking at the 2 budgets for the 2 proposals:
1. this one
2. http://peerwater.org/apps/198 (Bore-hole construction London & Mbulani Secondary Schools)

Please explain the huge difference in costs:

- item 2: pumpsets seem similar but cost almost double in this proposal.

- item 4: drill production is double in this proposal - have you confirmed the depth is 60m v 30m?

Please explain these items more clearly:

- item 1: mobilization: what is equipment mobilization? How is it different from purchase and transport. Personnel mobilization - what is it?

- item 9: prepare completion report. That should be part of administrative costs (already budgeted at 10%). Reports from earlier projects do not show any effort in this area.

- item 10: project monitoring: nothing is reflected in earlier projects - no reports.

Thank you.
