Title
Imperial College London - Strategy Comparisons of Implementation of Water Supply Points and Their Sustainability in Tanzania: A review of alternative approaches to the sustained provision of water supplies in Tanzania
Abstract
Rural water supply programmes in developing countries frequently fail to deliver benefits to
society over the long term, mainly because of the approach used by the donors, which
emphasises the technical aspects and fast production of new facilities, while sidestepping
participatory issues and community empowerment.
In response to the poor performance of water schemes and the prevalent high rate of nonfunctionality,
the Government of Tanzania has developed a comprehensive policy framework,
based on the principle of devolution by decentralisation, where the responsibility moves from
the central government to local authorities and communities; and on cost-recovery. Similarly, it
has launched an ambitious national programme to improve the access to reliable and sustained
water supply services for the rural population; and achieve, in a twenty-year period, the service
targets set by the Millennium Development Goals.
