Análise da governança local para a sustentabilidade da infraestrutura de água (projecto PROSULI) em Mavunguane

Abstract

Water is essential for life and human development, especially in semi-arid regions like Mavunguane, where access is limited due to scarce rainfall and inadequate infrastructure. The ProSuLi project implemented a multi-use water system, involving the community in sustainable management and improving livelihoods. The objective of the study was to analyze the governance of this system to strengthen local practices and inform future policies. To meet the objectives, documentary research techniques were used, including project reports, semi-structured interviews, and simple observation to collect data. Content analysis was employed for data analysis. It was observed that the system implemented by the ProSuLi project was complex in relation to the existing water infrastructure in the village and community of Mangalane and in relation to the participation of different actors in the decision-making process during the implementation of the infrastructure.
