Testimonial

The Luanda Government (the capital city) has shown continued interest in VerAgua and is now supporting the replication of the services there, with the lessons learned from this pilot leading to improved design and implementation. Implementation in Luanda began in August 2015 for reporting on the status of the city’s network of community water points. To date, caretakers have reported more regularly and funds have been made available for timely repairs. GSMA, 2015
