Reminder: Webinar on Handpump Functionality Monitoring - Getting It Right Can Help Ensure Sustainability

Wednesday, 14 February from 9:00 to 10:00 EST (New York time)/ 14:00 to 15:00 GMT (London time)/ 15:00 to 16:00 CET (Paris time)

In March 2016, The Water Institute at UNC published WaSH Policy Research Digest #3. The policy implications explored included a requirement to collect detailed functionality data that allow analysis of systematic problems, to use standard definitions and methods, and to establish robust systems that provide rapid repairs and keep downtime to a minimum. Since the publication, there has been considerable activity on the subject of handpump functionality monitoring. This includes work within the SWA partnership to develop a global standard for monitoring functionality of rural water supply, and research under the Unlocking the Potential of Groundwater for the Poor (UPGro) project.

This webinar will re-examine the policy implications presented in the Digest, and update participants on current work on handpump functionality monitoring.

The webinar will be opened by Jamie Bartram, The Water Institute at UNC, and Sean Furey, RWSN.

Panelists:

· Richard Carter, Consultant

· Vinny Casey, WaterAid

· Alan MacDonald, BGS

· Engineer Robert Kirya Mutiibwa, Ministry of Water, Uganda (tbc)

· Liz Jordan, USAID

Moderated by Clarissa Brocklehurst, The Water Institute at UNC

Join us on Wednesday, 14 February from 9:00 to 10:00 EST/ 14:00 to 15:00 GMT. To submit a question to the panelists in advance, email: swge...@email.unc.edu

Dear RWSN members, chers membres du RWSN (message en français ci-dessous),

The Water Institute at UNC in partnership with RWSN would like to invite you to take part in a panel discussion on the topic of Handpump functionality monitoring, which will take place on February 14.

In March 2016 the Water Institute at UNC published a WaSH Policy Research Digest entitled “Getting handpump functionality monitoring right can help ensure rural water supply sustainability. The policy implications explored included a requirement to collect detailed functionality data that allow analysis of systematic problems, to use standard definitions and methods, and to establish robust systems that provide rapid repairs and keep downtime to a minimum.

Since the publication of this Digest, there has been considerable activity on the subject of handpump functionality monitoring. This includes work within the SWA partnership to develop a global standard for monitoring functionality of rural water supply, and research under the Unlocking the Potential of Groundwater for the Poor (UPGro) project.

This webinar will re-examine the policy implications presented in the Digest, and update participants on current work on handpump functionality monitoring.The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 14 February from 9:00 to 10:00 EST (New York time)/ 14:00 to 15:00 GMT (London time)/ 15:00 to 16:00 CET (Paris time).

**********

UNC en partenariat avec le RWSN vous convie à une discussion d’une heure sur le sujet du suivi de la fonctionnalité des pompes à motricité humaine, qui sera transmise en temps réel le 14 février 2018. En mars 2016 UNC a publié une note technique intitulée “Le suivi des pompes à motricité humaine et comment s’assurer qu’elle permet la durabilité de l’approvisionnement en eau en milieu rural”. Cette note technique a conclu qu'il y a un besoin de collecte de données suffisamment détaillées sur la fonctionnalité, permettant d'analyser les problèmes de manière systématique, d'utiliser des définitions et des méthodes standards, et d'établir des systèmes robustes aui permettent des réparations rapides afin que les pannes soient aussi courtes que possible.

Depuis la publication de cette note, il y a eu de nombreux travaux sur le sujet, y compris au sein du partenariat de Sanitation and Water for All, pour développer un standard global visant à faire le suivi de la fonctionalité des pompes à motricité humaine, ainsi que du projet de recherche “Hidden Crisis” du programme UPGro.

Ce webinaire réexaminera les implications politiques présentées dans la note technique, et permettra de faire le point sur les travaux récents sur le sujet du suivi de la fonctionnalité des pompes à motricité humaine. Le webinaire aura lieu en anglais le 14 février 2018 à 9h00 EST (heure de Washington)/ 14h00 GMT (heure de Londres)/ 15h00 CST (heure de Paris). Vous pouvez vous inscrire pour le webinaire ici. Vous pouvez envoyer vos questions aux membres du panel en avance en envoyant un email swge...@email.unc.edu (en anglais) avec le sujet “Webinar on handpump functionality monitoring”.

Best wishes, Cordialement,
