DRC - Healthy villages and schools programme Objective : to empower communities to improve water and sanitation (Implementation: Ministries of Health and Education with the support of UNICEF) Certification of schools and villages based on potable water supply and latrines availability through 7/8 steps to be followed and 6/7 standards to reach (www.ecole-village-assainis.cd) Targets : - Phase 1: 2008-2012 3 850 villages/schools - Phase 2: 2013-2017 6 000 villages/schools - Regular monitoring to confirm/cancel the certification 5 5 5 5

DRC - Healthy villages and schools programme Results of Phase 1 : Out of 4 024 certified villages/schools, 620 manual pumps including 418 on manual boreholes Survey in 2013 on 418 manual boreholes fitted with Vergnet pumps : 100 % pumps functioning: 32 % (134) have been repaired but for 70 % (94) of them, breakdowns were due to boreholes’ construction 8 8 8 8
DRC - Healthy villages and schools programme During the programme implementation , VERGNET convinced the Programme Management Team to involve a local private operator for maintenance of the manual pumps (contract signed in March 2011) 418 VERGNET pumps installed on manual boreholes : 187 before private operator involvement and 231 after 2013 survey : The 94 pumps broken down due to boreholes’ construction were installed before private operator involvement 9 9 9 9
DRC - Healthy villages and schools programme Advantages of a private operator : manufacturer representative, in charge of installation and maintenance: - Installation of pumps only if good conditions are met (borehole well constructed) - Cost of water service to be borne by the beneficiaries - Professionalisation of the sector (training of pump caretakers/repairmen) - Real partnership between the manufacturer and the Government to improve efficiency (reactivity, exchange of data…) of after sales service 10 10 10 10
SDGs post 2015 – Sustainability of potable water supply service To guarantee a sustainable potable water supply service in rural areas: a manual pump, a market-oriented service, a job 1/ No sustainability without money: Pay as you fetch 2/ No sustainability without potability: Chlorination 3/ No sustainability without a close monitoring of the supply chain: Web plateform 11 11 11 11
