Stop the Rot reports are out

Stop the Rot was launched in January 2021 by Ask for Water GmbH and Skat Foundation, under the umbrella of the Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN).

The initiative was designed to document the scale and extent of rapid handpump corrosion and the use of poor quality handpump components in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as to identify actions to address them.

The findings of the Stop the Rot initiative have now been published in 3 different reports, which you can access from our publications library:

• Report I: Handpump reliance, functionality and technical failure
• Report II: Rapid corrosion of handpumps
• Report III: Handpump standards, quality and supply chains with Zambia case study
