Abstract
Access to safe water in rural and peri-urban areas of Malawi remains a challenge despite government’s efforts to improve it. For many years the government of Malawi has emphasized the promotion of rural water supply using gravity-fed systems and hand pumps such as the Afridev, Malda and Climax pumps on tube wells. However, there are several other low-cost technologies such as Rope pumps which have the potential to be used on tube wells. An increase in the number of organizations promoting Rope pumps as an option for rural water supply, and whether or not all stakeholders have fully accepted this technology, are the main reasons why this survey was carried out. This paper also addresses claims which are often raised by the government concerning the adoption of Rope pumps and how the Rope pump is a good option for self-supply effective and for small communities where conventional pumps are too expensive.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
