The aims of RWSN

RWSN focuses its work in specific areas where it believes it can make a significant contribution.

RWSN's aims to:

  • Maximise impact of investment through application of cost-effective technologies
  • Reduce well drilling costs through improved drilling operations
  • Improve sustainability of supply chains
  • Mobilise additional resources, by supporting self-supply solutions at household level  water supply facilities
  • Standardise handpumps with appropriate selection, procurement and simplified maintenance
  • Dissemination of Knowledge - equitable sharing of lessons learned, best practices and latest development in technologies

Assisting sector partners initiatives through knowledge sharing and dissemination is at the core of all RWSN activities. It helps in cross-fertilisation of experiences and prevents "reinventing the wheel", thus saving both time and money. The partnership of RWSN members will address the mandate for the collection and dissemination of experiences and lessons learned, through the preparation of case studies, technical notes and field monitoring reports. It provides technical back-up on low cost technologies and assists in the introduction of implementation procedures that are institutionally sound and technically feasible.
