A recent discussion on borehole rehabilitation brought together key WASH stakeholders to align on requirements and procedures. Below are the key points highlighted during the meeting:

1️. Requirements for Implementing Partners:

• Every partner must conduct pumping tests and water quality tests prior to implementation.
• Capacity-building initiatives for government stakeholders are essential.
• Strong collaboration and linkage with government stakeholders is required throughout the process.

2️. Pumping Test and Water Quality Testing:

• Pumping tests should be carried out simultaneously with technical assessments to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

3️. Capacity Building for Government Stakeholders:

• Continuous training and development are necessary to equip stakeholders with the skills needed for sustainable water management.

4️. Solarization of Functional Water Schemes:

• It was emphasized that solarization should not be used for rehabilitation purposes, as it is reserved for specific functional systems.

These collaborative discussions ensure that WASH interventions align with best practices, fostering sustainable water solutions for communities.
