A project evaluation for Medair in December 2004 was an example of a recent on-site assignment carried out by BushProof. The evaluation covered several aspects of the emergency intervention programme initiated earlier in the year, part of which was a micro-enterprise driven bio-sand filtration programme. The evaluation involved microbiological analysis and identifying the possible root causes for discrepancies found, and also reviewed and advised on marketing and publicity techniques.
In addition, BushProof can assist in emergencies through the provision of technical WatSan expertise with a focus on appropriate solutions. The focus of such assignments will be much wider than just bio sand filter interventions.
