摘要

加强农村供水基础设施的可持续性对于改善撒哈拉以南非洲的社会经济条件和促进可持续发展至关重要。本研究采用建模方法,通过调查赞比亚Mbala的社区参与、金融机制和技术干预如何相互作用,来解决目前对农村水系统可持续性理解中的关键差距。结果表明,社区参与而非感知显著影响水接入点(wap)的功能,社区贡献预测可持续性概率为0.63 (p = 0.0102),表明社区参与对可持续性有显著的正向影响。有趣的是,与传统预期相反,政府参与将在维持wap方面发挥重要作用,建模结果显示它没有显著影响。事实上,政府参与与最低的可持续性预测概率相关(0.23,p值>;0.5),这与社区贡献的强烈积极影响形成鲜明对比。这些发现挑战了自上而下方法的有效性,强调了以社区为中心的解决方案的必要性。通过弥合认知和实际贡献之间的差距,本研究提供了新的见解,可以为撒哈拉以南非洲的可持续农村供水基础设施管理提供信息。

Sustaining rural water infrastructure in Mbala, Zambia: A modelling approach for community-based management
Enhancing the sustainability of rural water supply infrastructure is essential for improving socioeconomic conditions and fostering sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa. This study employs a modelling approach to address critical gaps in the current understanding of the sustainability of rural water systems by investigating how community engagement, financial mechanisms, and technical interventions interact within Mbala, Zambia. Results demonstrate that community participation and not perception, significantly influences the functionality of water access points (WAPs), with community contributions predicting a sustainability probability of 0.63 (p = 0.0102), indicating a significantly positive effect on sustainability. Interestingly, contrary to conventional expectations that government involvement would play a significant role in sustaining WAPs, the modelling results reveal that it has no significant impact. In fact, government involvement is associated with the lowest predicted probability of sustainability (0.23, p-value > 0.5), a striking contrast to the strong positive effect of community contributions. These findings challenge the efficacy of top-down approaches, emphasizing the need for community-centered solutions. By bridging the gap between perception and actual contribution, this study offers novel insights that can inform sustainable rural water supply infrastructure management in Sub-Saharan Africa.

期刊介绍: World Development Perspectives is a multi-disciplinary journal of international development. It seeks to explore ways of improving human well-being by examining the performance and impact of interventions designed to address issues related to: poverty alleviation, public health and malnutrition, agricultural production, natural resource governance, globalization and transnational processes, technological progress, gender and social discrimination, and participation in economic and political life. Above all, we are particularly interested in the role of historical, legal, social, economic, political, biophysical, and/or ecological contexts in shaping development processes and outcomes.
