Participatory water governance in Nigeria: Towards the development of an effective legal framework for rural communities (2017)
Thesis
Aluta, E. Participatory water governance in Nigeria: Towards the development of an effective legal framework for rural communities. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/898985

Nigeria’s legal framework for supporting the supply of potable water has not proven to be effective. This is primarily due to the non-participation of a broad spectrum of stakeholders, particularly rural community members. A contextualised policy re-...
