Urban water conundrums in Zimbabwe – the role of water policy and its implementation gaps
Zimbabwe's urban areas are experiencing a dearth of water services, which is epitomized by acute water shortages and high morbidity due to waterborne diseases. The possible contribution of failures of water policy implementation to this state of affairs is explored. This review identifies and assesses 122 studies in Zimbabwe and in other countries that have analyzed water policies, in order to understand the factors which create gaps in policy implementation. It was found that these implementation gaps are mainly a result of capacity limitations in institutions, finances, and social and technical/human resources. There is currently very limited literature available that analyses water policy in Zimbabwe. In order to overcome the water conundrums in Zimbabwe's urban areas it is recommended that a literature review combined with an empirical study of both qualitative and quantitative gaps between the Zimbabwe National Water Policy and its implementation be undertaken. In particular, the review and study should focus on capacity limitations in institutions, finances, and social and technical/human resources in Zimbabwe. HIGHLIGHTS More empirical or a combination of empirical studies and literature review should be used to analyze the gaps between the Zimbabwe National Water Policy and its implementation in urban areas.; Inadequate water supply services are not only because of quantifiable problems but also because of qualitative policy gaps.; Four capacity factors constrain the implementation of water policy.; Effective water policy implementation can help to address Zimbabwe's urban water woes.;
