In brief, concerning Area Mechanics…

It has been observed a progression since the beginning to reach almost 2 000 contracts a year in total (all AMs and all 5 districts included). Salima is the district where there is more interventions.

1 pump for 4 has been repaired or maintained by an Area Mechanic.

In brief, concerning Shops and evolution of sales…

These figures are the number of spares parts that the shops bought to Inter Aide who was linking at that time (before the creation of RUWASO) suppliers and small shops.

Except in Salima, which after a high peak there was a decrease, the purchases (and therefore the sales by the customers) have increased.

Same follow up but only for the year 2013 has been made by BASEDA and TIMMS:

Next post will summarizes the evolution in terms of profit for AM and shops…
