    The Jalabandhu are an initiative spearheaded by Water For People–India in response to challenges we saw from our monitoring program that suggested... that routine maintenance and minor/major repairs of handpumps were not effective when managed by local water committees. The Jalabandhu are a private sector, mobile mechanic response to this programmatic weakness. I have seen the Jalabandhu get stronger each year since they were started in 2009.

      This is a terrific story! As we scale the Jalabandhu program up, would Mr. Jana be willing to train other entreprenuers on how to grow their business? Could/would we pay him for this type of training?

Those are talented Central Africans.moreless

    Share this video with others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnNPgtx7mdYI am a big fan of microfinance, having started my first microfinance project for water and sanitation in rural KwaZulu, Natal, South Africa in 1993. ... But I learned very quickly in this project that there was often a gap between repayment rates and actual impact. The microfinance sector spends a great deal of time focused on repayment rates – with organizations suggesting that they are successful and impactful because...moreless

      FLOW has a lot of potential with other development areas, is very flexible... Congratulations, good way to increase the information access.
    • Kalimuthu Arumugam 6 weeks ago
      There is tremendous demand from the sector players to know more above FLOW and its application. I am sure Akvo partnership will help us to strengthen our FLOW platform to reach wide and far.
