Tapping Treasure: Cost-Effective Boreholes in Sierra Leone Training and Guideline Development (2013 to 2014)

Description:

The eight-month cost-effective boreholes project funded by the Department of International Development through the WASH Facility of Sierra Leone ended in February 2014. The project completed on a high note, with a short course on drilling supervision which was attended by 21 stakeholders from Government and NGOs. The practical, hands on nature of the course was particularly appreciated by those who participated. For many who attended, it was their first time to actually witness borehole drilling in practice. Some participants had already been in the role of drilling supervisor before, but most of them had not been sure of how to undertake this job in a professional manner. The exposure was important not only for those who may actually undertake borehole drilling supervision in the future, but also for the senior staff who will be responsible for managing projects and supporting drilling supervisors in the future.
