Description |
The determinants of local households’ participation and sustainability of periurbancommunity-based water management encompasses known and unknownchallenges. This paper aims to determine the drivers of peri-urban households’participation in water management systems in the Greater Accra Region (GAR).Data were collected using qualitative and a quantitative survey. Logistic regressionmodel was applied as an analytical tool to examine the determinants of localhouseholds’ participation. Findings indicated that the determinants of localhouseholds’ participation have an impact on peri-urban community-managedwater systems because, as local community participation increases, communityawareness and spirit of ownership increase too, leading to facility sustainability.The study also concludes that there is a significant relationship between socialchange, heterogeneity community and determinants of local households’participation of peri-urban community-managed water facilities. Therefore, anyattempt to analyse local households’ participation in community-managed watersystem must be based on practical contexts rather than on assumptions.
