This paper contributes to a
long-standing debate in development practice: Under what
conditions can externally established participatory groups
engage in the collective management of services beyond the
life of a project Using 10 years of panel data on water
point functionality from Indonesia’s rural water program,
the Program for Community-Based Water Supply and Sanitation,
the paper explores the determinants of subnational variation
in infrastructure sustainability. It then investigates
positive and negative deviance cases to answer why some
communities have successfully engaged in system management
despite being located in difficult conditions as per
quantitative findings and vice versa. The findings show that
differences in the implementation of community
participation, driven by local social relations between
frontline service providers, that is, village authorities
and water user groups, explain sustainable management. This
initial condition of state-society relations influences how
the project is initiated, kicking off negative or positive
reinforcing pathways, leading to community collective action
or exit. The paper concludes that the relationships between
frontline government representatives and community actors
are an important and underexamined aspect of the ability of
external projects to generate successful community-led
management of public goods. |
