This study assesses resource governance related to water user association in Chunya
district, Mbeya region as a case. Specifically, the study intended to explain the process of
carrying out collective bargaining in order to govern water resources and explain how
conflicts in water user are resolved in Chunya District. It has also assessed willingness to
pay for water as a public good, and the role of property right in mitigate the tragedy of the
commons.
Qualitative research methodology was employed to collect primary data. Whereas the
collected data using structured questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussion and
observation were used in the analysis. The documentary review research method was also
employed to collect secondary data. The analysis was done using the Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Excel Computer Software to analyse descriptive statistics
such as cross-tabulations, percentages and averages of the sample size of 98 respondents.
Results show that the process of carrying out collective bargaining is not participatory
enough since only 33.3% of the members of Water Users Association were involved.
However, conflict resolutions in water use are effectively resolved using WUAs. The
willingness to pay for water services was relatively high up to 82.7% of the respondents
who were interested to pay for using water. The property right assignment was reported to
be a stimulate sense of ownership and provides the legal capacity to WUAs in dealing
with deviants of water source regulations
In order to increase effectiveness in resource governance especially in water resource;
WUAs and other water institutions must recognize the role of community in governance
of natural resources. Furthermore, the study provided areas for further research. |
