online resource
posted on 2006-06-02, 10:15 authored by Peter Harvey, Brian Skinner, Robert ReedBetween April and June 2002 field evaluations were conducted
by WEDC in Zambia and Ghana as part of the
DFID-funded research project ‘Guidelines for Sustainable
Handpumps in Africa’. The purpose of these visits was to
evaluate ‘successful’ handpump projects and determine
what factors contribute to sustainability.
The project literature review (Parry-Jones et al., 2001a)
identified eight factors critical to sustainability, these were
refined during the visits to the following six:
Institutional and policy arrangements;
Financing and cost recovery;
Community and social aspects;
Technology and the natural environment;
Spare parts supply;
Maintenance systems.
