In an\nattempt to better understand th e Buea situation\, a field survey was\norganised to appreciate the state o f water supply infrastructure\,\nwater source management practices\, and c onsumers’ perspective of\nthe quality of water supply services. Household questionnaires\,\nsemi-structured interviews and a roundtable policy dialo gue were\nused to collect data on the gravity of the crisis\, coping\nstra tegies and current policy initiatives. Our preliminary findings\nshow that there is lack of awareness\, lack of strategic local\npartnership and the lack of participatory stakeholder governance to\neffectively address wate rshed issues for improved water supply.\nThis study has identified the nee d for collaborative platforms in\nwater management to promote awareness an d linkages between\npopulation growth\, economic development\, watershed a ctivities\,\ncapacity building and poverty alleviation.\n DTSTART:20080929T163000Z DTEND:20080929T180000Z LOCATION:Peel 3715\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1X1\, 3715 rue Peel SUMMARY:Watershed Management and Water Supply Services in the Buea Municipa lity URL:/channels/event/watershed-management-and-water-sup ply-services-buea-municipality-101841 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
