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...
