商品簡介
The editors present findings of the Research Council of the Norway-funded project “Flows and Practices: The Politics of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in Africa.” Using Africa as a laboratory for IWRM experiments, donors, water professionals and students have made IWRM their mission. However, instead of enlarging poor people’s access to water, case studies suggest that IWRM may have resulted in an unwarranted policy focus. Newly created institutional arrangements have tended to centralize power and control of the state and powerful users over water and failed to address inequalities rooted in the past. The book focuses on Mozambique, South, Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Distributed in North America by African Books Collective. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
