This study focused on the contribution of community participation in ensuring
sustainability of water service delivery a case of the people living around Mindu dam in
Morogoro municipal council. The study intended to answer three research questions
which are: What are the ways of community participation in ensuring availability and
sustainability of water service delivery in Mindu area; What is the attitude of the Mindu
community towards participating in conserving Mindu Dam and What are the
challenges facing the Mindu community in conserving the Mindu Dam as a source of
water in Morogoro Municipal Council. Case study design was employed to address the
research questions.
The findings revealed that there were very minimum or rather no active participation of
the Mindu area community in ensuring sustainable water service delivery at Mindu
Dam. The attitude of the people surrounding the Mindu Dam was found to be positive,
since they were willing to be involved in planning, making decision and implementing
conservation of the catchment areas for sustainability of water service delivery.
Challenges such as poor relationship between MORUWASA and communities
surrounding catchment areas and Absence of alternative for earning income for some of
community members apart from practicing agriculture around catchment areas were
noted among others.
It is recommended that education should be given to the community members to raise
awareness on environmental conservation as well as finding alternative source of income
to the community members rather than depending on the activities that are harmful to
the dam like fishing and irrigational activities. Further studies are needed to find out the
best way for conserving environment surrounding catchment areas. Also, broader study
is needed to include other catchment areas apart from Mindu Dam in other parts of
Tanzania to have a wider understanding about contribution of community participation
in ensuring sustainability of water service delivery. |
