Community participation in rural water supply schemes in Tanzania
It is often argued that community participation is fundamental to the success of any water supply scheme in rural areas of developing countries. This paper, therefore, sets out to explore possible arrangements which can increase the share of community involvement in the development and operation of water supply schemes. In order to understand why there have been limited applications of this strategy, Tanzania's experience with community participation is examined. It is observed that the present organization and operational procedures of the Water Department are not conducive to community participation. It is concluded that, to increase participation, local communities should be involved more in all aspects of water scheme development. Creation of village water committees with powers of mobilizing local people, planning, and financing is seen as one of the most promising ways of increasing community participation.
