| Abstract | This literature review is about the role of local government in water resources management and how this role is changing in response to a series of policy and institutional changes affecting the way that the water sector functions and how government, especially at the local level, is organised. The report aims to capture experiences worldwide, but also makes specific reference to southern Africa and the EU in accordance with the focus of the LoGo Water project and gives more emphasis to development issues in the south. The review is complimented by five case studies that were prepared specifically for this report focusing on Bolivia, the Netherlands, India, and Egypt. [authors abstract] This document is part of the project ‘LoGo Water : towards effective involvement of local government in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in river basins of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region’. |
