A Turning Point for Manual Drilling in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Download – A turning point for Manual Drilling in Democratic Republic of Congo

Title: A Turning Point for Manual Drilling in the Democratic Republic of Congo

This publication provides a source of inspiration from a country that tends to otherwise be associated with humanitarian crisis, persistent conflicts, recurrent civil wars and a generally obsolete road infrastructure. It describes over a decade of pioneering efforts by UNICEF, the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and partners to introduce and professionalize manual drilling. This professionalization programme is very important as it is estimated that only 43% of the population have access to a basic drinking water service. In addition, the majority of the DRC is favourable to manual drilling (42% classified with very high or high potential, and 24% as moderate). The most favourable area for manual drilling is in the western part of the country, which has a soft geological layer of considerable extent and thickness.

Over a ten-year period, manual drilling, using the rota-jetting technique, has gone from a little-known technology in the DRC to an effective technology that has enabled about 650,000 people to be provided with a water service. A total of 1,806 boreholes were drilled and installed with handpumps in rural and peri-urban areas between 2010 and 2018, financed through the Government’s Healthy Schools and Villages National Programme (PNEVA).

Titre: Un tournant pour le forage manuel en République Démocratique du Congo

Cette publication est une source d’inspiration pour un pays que l’on associe par ailleurs à une crise humanitaire, des conflits persistants, des guerres civiles récurrentes et une infrastructure routière généralement obsolète. Elle décrit plus d’une décennie d’efforts pionniers déployés par l’UNICEF, le gouvernement de la République démocratique du Congo et ses partenaires pour introduire et professionnaliser le forage manuel. Ce programme de professionnalisation est très important car on estime que seulement 43% de la population a accès à un service d’eau potable de base. De plus, la majorité du territoire de la RDC est favorable au forage manuel (42% sont classés comme ayant un potentiel très élevé ou élevé, et 24% comme modéré). La zone la plus favorable au forage manuel se trouve dans la partie occidentale du pays, qui présente une couche géologique tendre d’une étendue et d’une épaisseur considérables.

En dix ans, le forage manuel, utilisant la technique du rota-jetting, est passé d’une technologie peu connue en RDC à une technologie efficace qui a permis de desservir en eau environ 650 000 personnes. Au total, 1 806 forages ont été réalisés et installés avec des pompes manuelles dans les zones rurales et périurbaines entre 2010 et 2018, financés par le Programme national écoles et villages sains (PNEVA) du gouvernement.
