Why Do So Many Water Points Fail in Tanzania? An Empirical Analysis of Contributing Factors
According to the 2015 Tanzania Water Point Mapping data, about 29 percent of all water points are non-functional, out of which 20 percent failed within the first year. This paper analyzes the various factors which impact water point failure and mea...

According to the 2015 Tanzania Water
Point Mapping data, about 29 percent of all water points are
non-functional, out of which 20 percent failed within the
first year. This paper analyzes the various factors which
impact water point failure and measures the relative
contributions of these determinants. The results indicate
that water points managed by village committees had a much
higher likelihood of failure than those managed by private
operators or water authority. Factors that cannot be
modified such as hydrogeological factors play a major role
in determining water points failure during the first year
after installation. However, management type as well as the
type of pump and technology matter considerably more in the
short and medium term. |
