Working Paper 2: WDM, Poverty & Equity
Prev Document(s) 13 of 21 Next
Stephen Tyler

Despite the growing practical and policy-level engagement with WDM, there has been little analytical or empirical effort devoted to its potential social implications. Establishing a better foundation for understanding the linkages between WDM and poverty is, therefore, very important.

This paper shows that WDM can contribute to poverty reduction, defined in terms of strengthening opportunity, equity, security and empowerment but will require restructuring of water sector operations and accompanying management reforms in the sector.

WaDImena believes that this new Research Series contributes to setting the stage for the next phase of WDM research. The other three papers of the Series focus on the issues of institutional structures and reforms, gender and equity.  The full series can be accessed at http://www.idrc.ca/ev_en.php?ID=121600_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC
