| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Selecting cases from Kenya under devolution, this study illuminated the reality of commercialization and local governance of domestic water in the situation where both local government's free water supply policy and beneficiary-paid water supply coexist. Focusing on the interaction between the two, the study found an urban case in which the two are managed by a single committee and in a complementary relation, and another rural case where they are individually and separately managed and in a competitive relationship. In both cases of governance, local elites used free water as a political resource in a clientelist manner, and the socio-economic sustainability of paid water supply was threatened in the rural case. In order to harmonize neo-liberal reform, devolution, and the rights-based approach at the local level in the domestic water sector, and to maintain the livelihood security of the people, an alternative to separate management of individual water sources is required.
