Abstract
This paper focuses on the identification and analysis of key issues that impact the
governance of rural water services in sub-Saharan Africa. Tanzania was selected as a representative
case study. The analysis was based on a combination of relevant literature review, extensive
fieldwork and action research case studies, which were carried out between 2005 and 2009. A
number of weaknesses that continue undermining strategies for poverty eradication were identified
at different administrative levels (from local to national): low quality of water services; lack of
sustainability of constructed infrastructure; difficulties for targeting the poor; and inadequate
internal information systems. Some initiatives to overcome these challenges were piloted and
implemented at the district level. Policy recommendations presented entail new paradigms for the
provision of rural water supply: adoption of water supply as a service that is monitored and
supported by the government; needs-based allocation of projects at community level; and improving
guidance for local government decision making are proposed.
