Sierra Leone Waterpoint Database Presentation of Project and Data

 Project led by MoEWR with WSP & UNICEF support  Completed in three months (February to April 2012)  28,000+ protected, public waterpoints surveyed Project Overview

 Full dataset now available online:  In-depth information for each of the 28,000+ points  Data allows better planning and fundraising The Database

Database Demo  View waterpoints  Filter by attributes  Show service level  Local analysis  Use satellite data

Five Key Results  Major investments needed & data shows where  Seasonality is a major issue  Breakdown rates too high  Construction should be focused on fewer pump models  Coordination between agencies needs to be improved Results - Overview

Major investments needed Survey shows total points and detailed service gaps  28,845 points surveyed  18,908 protected & in use  4,148 partially damaged  5,137 broken down  Service gaps often very local  Detailed investment planning needed Results - Overview

Coordination Lacking Up to 6+ agencies in same chiefdoms just in last 3 years!  Improve coordination to keep overheads low.

Seasonality is a major problem Up to 40% of points provide insufficient water in dry season  Better standards for location & construction required Results - Overview Rainy seasonDry Season

Breakdown rates are unacceptably high 22% of points built in 2011 already impaired  Local ownership & active management shown to improve performance and should be encouraged Results - Overview

Focus Construction on Key Pump Types India Mark (II) and Kardia most popular pump types 64% of handpumps are India Mark (II)  Focusing on these key models will economize on training of mechanics and sparepart supply chains Results - Overview

 Please send comments on draft report by 15 th July:  Regional maps & coordinated planning effort  Updating of the Map Next Steps
