Titre : Quality improvement of Volanta pump production in Niger

Pays : Niger

Date/Durée : 2009 -2010

Descriptif
Since groundwater levels in Niger are situated at a relatively large depth, Volanta pumps are a suitable technology for its rural drinking water supply. Last years the number of non-functioning pumps has increased due to fabrication insufficiencies and a lack of spare parts from the right type. As a response, the direction of the ACREMA production plant approached PRACTICA for an intervention to improve the quality of works.

Activités
* Identification of needs expressed by the ACREMA production plant in Tahoua * Development of a customised training programme * Three-week intensive training to improve the fabrication and commercialisation of Volanta pumps.

Objectifs
To improve the quality of the Volanta pump production in Niger.

Budget : € 47,000
