Recent studies highlight the importance of leadership and vision
Two recent studies from the group have pointed at the importance of good leadership and common visions for successfully implementation of new water and wastewater systems. A theory-building case-study of community-based water and wastewater systems in Cochabamba, Bolivia identified four prerequisites for success: leadership, agreed vision, collective action and management. The study builds a framework… Continue reading Recent studies highlight the importance of leadership and vision
