| Abstract | Many developing countries have devolved responsibility for water services to local government. But local governments need support to take on this responsibility. While this is understood in theory, in practice the support provided has been inadequate. Unless national governments are willing to invest in training and on-going support for local governments, the sector will remain stuck in a cycle of low capacity and service delivery failure. |
