RWSN • NEWS Handpump Standards Consultant - Uganda

published on 10.04.2026

About 67% of Uganda's rural population relies on hand pumps for water supply, with over 63,000 in use. Handpumps will continue to do so despite policy shifts toward piped systems.
The standardised pumps (U2, U3, U3M) have relied upon the same specifications since the 1990s, but it is well known that rapid corrosion of submerged components affects performance and lifespan, driven by aggressive groundwater (low pH, high salinity, high chloride concentrations). The Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) suspended the use of Galvanised Iron (GI) in 2016, but the standards, held by the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), haven't been revised since 1995 to address evolving technical, environmental, and climatic challenges - in particular, rapid handpump corrosion and available solutions.
