====Training, training, training====

The most important thing to get manual drilling of the ground in a professional way in a region is training. In a joint effort, the Dutch [http://wwwpractica.practicafoundation.nlorg/ PRACTICA Foundation], [http://www.unicef.org/wash/index_watersecurity.html UNICEF], and US-based [http://www.enterpriseworks.org/ Enterprise Works/Vita] have developed a toolkit for African countries wishing to embark on the professionalisation of manual drilling. This toolkit includes technical notes, technical manuals, advocacy materials, mapping of suitable areas for manual drilling, case studies, and implementation and training manuals. The works. With this material, the local private sector can take up manual drilling, so they can respond to the ever-increasing demand for safe water in rural areas.

Our experience at PRACTICA has been that with the right training of manual drilling teams, wells of good quality can be drilled. In Chad for example, UNICEF and PRACTICA are training 43 manual drilling enterprises, quality controllers and pump repairman, ultimately producing over 500 wells for rural communities. Case study: [http://www.unicef.org/wash/files/CHAD_Case_Study_Aug14_lowRes.pdf The impact of manual drilling for the construction of sustainable water-points in Chad].
