Honor Fagan, Suzanne Linnane, Kevin G. McGuigan, and Albert I. RugumayoAbstractThis is a book about community-based research in the service of improving the sustainability and equity of safe water production, consumption, and management at community level in rural Uganda. It provides an account of the findings of a five-year combined social science, natural science, and engineering research work programme (2009?14) which took place within and with the community, in the sense that the community identified their water needs and related their everyday struggles with water resourcing to the research team, and they contributed to the outcomes. Our research programme began 14 years after the Ugandan government enacted the 1995 Water Statute (which provided the framework for the use, protection, and management of water resources and supply, the constitution of water authorities, and the devolution of water supply undertakings), 10 years after the 1999 National Water Policy was rolled out, and six years short of the delivery date for the Millennium Development Goals on water.Keywords: sustainability, research capacity building, water, equity, rural povertyThe projectThe programme of research which forms the basis of this book was Water is Life: Amazzi Bulamu, supported by Irish Aid/Higher Education Authority funding for research capacity building around sustainable water development. It involved the creation of a partnership between Irish third-level institutes and the University of Makerere in Uganda to involve Ugandan-based and Irish-based teams of academics in training Ugandan or Ugandan-based researchers to doctoral level in the practical action setting of a poor rural community. The involvement of the community in the programme from the outset was intended to | EAN: 9781853398902 | Languages: English | Binding: Paperback | Item Condition: New. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A safe, adequate water supply within easy reach is still a dream for many people living in rural Africa. This book examines why such a basic service is not yet universally available by studying in detail one particular region of rural Uganda. What is the experience of women and children who have responsibility for fetching enough water for drinking, washing, cooking and feeding livestock Are the village water committees run effectively Is the policy and service delivery framework at national, regional and community level working to support borehole repair and maintenance Can technical solutions such as SODIS and rooftop rainwater harvesting be both effective and gain local acceptance Can GIS engage local people in gathering and using relevant data Water is Life also studies the hydro-geological realities that present challenges to groundwater supply, and considers how climate change is likely to affect water supplies. The Water is Life: Amazzi Bulamu project is a five-year, interdisciplinary research collaboration between Irish and Ugandan higher education institutes and NGOs, centring on communities in the Makondo area of rural Uganda. By bringing together social, physical and environmental scientists to study these research questions, the project proposes solutions for community water supply that have eluded government initiatives and NGOs for decades. This book is important reading for researchers, students, and policy makers in NGOs and government departments with a responsibility for water supply.…
