Title
ODI - Governance and Drivers of Change in
Ethiopia’s Water Supply Sector
Abstract
In Ethiopia, investment in rural water supply forms a major plank of the government’s poverty
reduction efforts. The challenge is huge: Ethiopia’s 2008 Plan for Accelerated and Sustained
Development to End Poverty (PASDEP)1 progress report, based on sector data, records rural
water coverage at 54% and the country has the highest absolute number of people without
access to improved water supply and sanitation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Despite progress, however, significant obstacles remain. These obstacles can, at least in part, be
explained by the nature of governance and politics in the sector, which present barriers to and
opportunities for pro-poor change. Yet there is a gap in knowledge of the governance and political
economy of the water supply sector in Ethiopia. This study addresses this gap by analysing the
governance of the sector and by identifying some challenges associated with the political
economy of sector reform.
