Travelling models of participation
In recent decades, water management in Namibia has profoundly changed. Beginning in the 1990s the Namibian state has incrementally turned ownership of and the responsibility for its rural water supply to local user groups.

Inclusive participation became the leitmo…
Moral equality and success of common-pool water governance in Namibia
In the course of decentralization, pastoral communities in Namibia have had to find new ways to share their most salient resource, water, and the costs involved in providing it.

Our results reveal that eithe…
