Mvula Trust would like to share its experience on
embracing community-based management of rural water
schemes in South Africa. The proposal is to provide support
to local Municipalities, by guiding them in making use
of community based structures to serve as the most suitable
water service provider option for small water scheme. The
rationale of this program is also to embrace the principles
of demand responsive approaches and the involvement of
all relevant role players in discussions, decision making,
planning, implementation and monitoring & evaluation.
This paper is based on the program that was implemented
in the Northern Province, South Africa.
