The NGO DAPP has been active in Zambia for 15 years. It is supported by Humana People to People, Connect International, UNICEF, WaterAid, CARE and IDE. In water supply, DAPP focuses on communal and self supply systems, including the rope pump. Drilling technologies used are the rota sludge and Baptist drilling (Shipo version).
By July 2008, 30 wells had been drilled by hand, with a low success rate because of lack of skills, errors in drilling tools and rocky areas. With more training and better site selection, the success rate of hand drilled wells is now increasing.

Richard Cansdale, of SWS Filtration, UK has extensive expertise in well jetting, having introduced the technique into Nigeria in 1982, and improved on it to develop self-jetting well screens in 1998. Cansdale has subsequently taught well jetting techniques to the Western Savannah Corp in Nyala, Western Darfur (1998 and 1990), and to Appropriate Technology International (ATI), now (EVW) in Senegal (1991 and 1992). In mid 2004 he taught well jetting to MEDAIR/BushProof in Madagascar. He has also developed the Rower and Canzee pumps, but that is another story. Richard Cansdale still provides support on well jetting, but from a local beach in the UK, or over the telephone and supplies self-jetting well screens.

UNICEF has supported manual drilling in a number of its country programmes including Niger, Chad, Madagascar, Senegal and Bolivia.
At global level, UNICEF, Practica and Enterprise Works/VITA are currently developing a toolkit for African countries wishing to professionalise manual drilling. This toolkit will include Technical Notes, Technical Manuals, Advocacy Materials, Mapping of suitable areas for manual drilling, Case Studies, and Implementation and Training Manuals.
Water for All a Christian mission organization that developed the Baptist drilling method, and now introduces low-cost well drilling, water pumping and harvesting technologies to communities in Bolivia and beyond. They disseminate the Baptist drilling method by training well drillers and supplying them with US$ 150 of drilling equipment. WFA estimate that almost 2,000 wells have been drilled in 12 countries using the Baptist method by June 2008.
