Questions about Proposal

Seems very appropriate to scale up maintenance training. What is the incentive for the people to become trained in maintenance? Do they receive payment when they provide maintenance?

I like the microcredit piece. Are people in this area familiar with credit? If not, does the project include financial and/or numeracy training to encourage payback of the loans?

Great Proposal - Some Questions

By Water for People Posted on Thu 12 Oct 2006, over 19 years ago

Thanks WaterAid for the great proposal. I think it will provide good lessons for us all.

A few questions:

1. water point rehabilitations often fail because the underlying causes of previous project failures is not addressed during the rehabilitation work. You have identified 2 problems (lack of access to spares and pump mecanics) as problems. Are there other problems (finance, managerial at local level, etc.) that have also been considered and how?
2. The revolving credit scheme is interesting. Are all families able to pay half the cost of the slab? Who is responsible for other inputs? What happens if a family can not pay?
3. How is groundwater protected with these latrines?
4. How will you measure if 1000 have actually changed behaviours? What behaviours have you targeted?

Thanks and well done - this is most helpful

Good questions - thanks. Would like to also know a bit of the history of the project - looks like a previous attempt did not work.

My question is invovling some of the program side of WaterAid in PWX. Right now WaterAid NY is part of PWX and to get more project details and answers, do we need to get the UK or Mali office involved? Is that possible?
