Note
Security system 3rd ver.

This note describes three different systems to secure hand pump that have been developed in Malawi by Inter Aide and BASEDA-TIMMS - its local partner. It compares the three options that have been progressively upgraded and give technical details.

These systems are still under test and the team is doing its promotion toward communities. Indeed, remote villages can be in risk of vandalism as some spare parts can be expensive, and thieves are motivated by parallel and unofficial markets where stolen parts are resold.
