A Case of Ethiopian Water Sector Reform

In the past few years Ethiopia has undergone a series of reforms from "traditional administration" to "new public management (NPM)" approach. ... In 1974, the Dege administration came to power and the central government expanded its reach to the community level through the establishment of the Farmers Association (PA) with the lowest administrative unit. PA boundaries are based on ethnic boundaries and justify tribal-based resource demands.

In this report, we discuss political economics issues in water reform and highlight the importance of "transcendental sector" policy. It analyzes the factors driving water reform in the political economy and shows that some of these factors are changing in the Middle East and North Africa in a way that opens opportunities for water reform. In the report, we will examine how challenges and opportunities facing increasingly globalizing economies can change the dynamics of water policies, changes in local demographics (such as rapid urbanization and educational improvements)

Abstract: The occasional relationship between recent water governance and the new liberalization of nature has identified most interventions in the water sector around the world. In the case of Lima, providing water and sanitation services over the past 20 years was the purpose of investment and institutional reform under the strong influence of economic neoliberalism. In this article we will explore the evolution of neo-liberal tendencies in the capital of Peru and pay special attention to internal conflicts, coordination, and the remaining problems. The empirical results show that the neo-liberalization of Lima is not a simple process but rather developed and changed according to the constraints of political opportunities and technical operations. Key words: neoliberalism, natural neoliberalism, water system reform, Lima, Peru, city political ecology 1. Introduction: Peru Lima and New Free Water
