Book Synopsis Water and Development by : Ronaldo Munck
Download or read book Water and Development written by Ronaldo Munck and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water has always been a crucial catalyst for human development. In Africa, competition among different sectors for this scarce resource remains a critical challenge to water managers and decision-makers. Water and Development examines a range of issues, from governance to solar distillation, from gender to water pumps, using a range of research methods, from participant observation to GIS and SPSS data analysis. Throughout, however, there is the unifying thread of developing a participatory and sustainable approach to water which recognises it as an essential public necessity. The result is essential reading both for students of development and the environment and for NGOs and policy-makers seeking a robust and transformational approach to water and development.

Book Synopsis The Governance of Water and Sanitation in Africa by : Tim Gray
Download or read book The Governance of Water and Sanitation in Africa written by Tim Gray and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The politics of water have taken centre stage in global concerns about sustainable development. "The Governance of Water and Sanitation in Africa" investigates a new mode of achieving the Millennium Development Goal of halving the number of people who lack access to safe water and sanitation by 2015. Instead of aid delivered via deals between governments, an initiative arising out of the 2002 World Summit established multi-stakeholder partnerships involving the private sector, civil society and governments to work together in a more effective way.This title includes fieldwork and interviews with key players in Europe, South Africa, Zambia, Ghana and USA, and an examination of three partnerships in Africa, including the EU Water Initiative, that reveal that despite current weaknesses this model offers a promising mode of delivery in the long term. This book is invaluable for all those concerned with issues of water, sanitation and sustainable development, as well as the politics of international aid.
Book Synopsis Sustaining High Performing Public Enterprises by : Silver Mugisha
Download or read book Sustaining High Performing Public Enterprises written by Silver Mugisha and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustaining High Performing Public Enterprises presents steps taken by National Water and Sewerage Corporation of Uganda, a typical public enterprise, to sustain a high performance momentum after over 15 years of successful utility reforms. Specifically, the author pinpoints key achievements during the period 2013–2018 including growth in geographical coverage from 23 to 240 towns, increase in connections from 310,000 to about 600,000; revenues growing more than three times and network growth improving from 80kms per year to over 2000kms per year. The concept of new public management (NPM) is used to set the scene for a case description of various initiatives and innovations implemented. A balanced scorecard framework is used to characterize the various activities. The book highlights a shift from over-emphasis on positive cash-flows alone to a balanced approach to ‘water for all’ citizens. The need to balance technical work and political aspirations is highlighted. Also featured is the nexus between utility operations and environmental protection to ensure sustainable water supply. The cardinal role of aligning staff needs to organizational needs and working for win-win solutions is also highlighted. Sustaining High Performing Public Enterprises presents strong lessons and conclusions for utility leaders and policy makers intending to reform their utilities to create value for citizens. It is also of value to academicians and researchers for scholarly studies in water and sanitation governance and management.
Book Synopsis Putting Water Security to Work by : Chad Staddon
Download or read book Putting Water Security to Work written by Chad Staddon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, water security has replaced sustainability as the key optic for thinking about how we manage water. This reframing has offered benefits (including clear recognition of the link between humans, the environment and the right to water) and also posed challenges (the tendency in some quarters to interpret “security” solely in terms of geopolitical or economic “securitisation”). In this collection, the authors offer a radical repositioning of these debates updated to reflect the concerns of our post-pandemic world. The chapters in this volume examine several different themes including how water security articulates with locality and culture, how it operates across spatial scales and its moral/ethical resonances. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journals Water International and International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Book Synopsis Water for Africa Through Leadership and Institutional Support (Walis) by : United States United States Agency for International Development
Download or read book Water for Africa Through Leadership and Institutional Support (Walis) written by United States United States Agency for International Development and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-16 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite significant progress made through donor and NGO investments over the past thirty years, a large percentage of Africans still lack access to clean water and proper sanitation. The data that African countries report to the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) often masks significant disparities between rural/urban populations and between rich and poor. These statistics also fail to capture the impact of poor water and sanitation access on women and girls who bear the primary responsibility for collecting and managing household water supplies and hygiene. They also face greater health and safety issues when confronted with limited access to sanitation facilities. Many African countries are testing and applying different approaches to improve access to clean, safe water and improved sanitation. These offer good examples of market-oriented and public-private partnership approaches that can help countries address specific water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) challenges. Unfortunately, too often these examples and the lessons they generate get little notice or dissemination outside the country or city where they take place. Based on our experience, replicating successful WASH models requires two key ingredients: (1) wide availability of information about the approach and how it was developed (i.e. not just a simple success story); and (2) the local capacity to understand and adapt the approach to the different political, social, economic and environmental conditions reflected in the targeted country or region.

Book Synopsis Social Perspectives on the Sanitation Challenge by : Bas van Vliet
Download or read book Social Perspectives on the Sanitation Challenge written by Bas van Vliet and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the result of years of commitment with world-wide sanitation challenges from various research networks linking the editors and authors of this volume to many other sanitation scholars and professionals. Major contributions to this volume are derived from the work done in the PROVIDE project (working on sustainable urban infrastructures in cities of the Lake Victoria Basin, East Africa), the DESAR project (research and pilot projects in Decentralized Sanitation and Reuse, the Netherlands), and among others within NETSSAF (large scale implementation of sanitation in Africa), and EcoSan networks. The major milestone for this book to emerge was however the IWA Sanitation Challenge Conference of May 2008 in Wageningen, the Netherlands where all the authors of this book presented their papers. The conference was organized by a consortium of sanitation specialists at Wageningen University’s Environmental Policy Group (the editors) and the s- department of Environmental Technology, LeAF (Lettinga Associates Foundation) and Wetsus (Center of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology in the Netherlands). It was a unique event as it enabled a truly multi-disciplinary approach in discussing Sanitation Challenges in North and South with social and political scientists, natural scientists, environmental engineers and practitioners in one s- entific conference. This volume presents a selection of the social scientific insights and research results presented at the Sanitation Challenge Conference: the concepts, decisi- making support tools and the perspectives from farmers and consumers towards sanitation innovation.

This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the urban water management challenges facing cities across OECD countries, and explores both national and local policy responses with respect to water-risk exposure, the state of urban infrastructures and dynamics, and institutional and governance architectures. The analyses focus on four mutually dependent dimensions – finance, innovation, urban-rural co-operation and governance – and proposes a solutions-oriented typology based on urban characteristics. The report underlines that sustainable urban water management will depend on collaboration across different tiers of government working together with local initiatives and stakeholders.
Book Synopsis Blockages to Service Sustainability of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools Case Study of Selected Public Schools in Kampala Uganda by : Ceaser Kimbugwe
Download or read book Blockages to Service Sustainability of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools Case Study of Selected Public Schools in Kampala Uganda written by Ceaser Kimbugwe and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) are not adequately available in schools, children`s safety and health are compromised as their precious education time is lost collecting water and or queuing up to access the limited sanitation facilities. This has a regressive bearing on (1) privacy and dignity (2) school attendance (3) student health (4) learning outcomes (5) gender equity and (6) poverty. Every child deserves an opportunity to learn in a safe and healthy environment. Safe drinking water and a safe place to use the toilet are as important as teachers, classrooms, and books. Generating evidence on the cause of service failures and low sustainability of school Water Sanitation and Hygiene services is essential to improve the quality of education. This study assessed blockages to WASH service sustainability of Water Sanitation and Hygiene in Kampala's public primary schools to inform the development of sustainable WASH in school's service delivery and management models. Data collection methods included desk reviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. WASH blockages analysis was conducted to give a visual representation of the challenges and barriers prohibiting sustainable access to WASH in Schools. Key study findings highlighted three categories of blockage including; enabling environment, WASH infrastructure supply, and service sustainability.
