Abstract
ABSTRACT In rural areas of developing countries, improved access to clean water has been known to lead to reduced workloads for women and girls, and improved health and education. To sustain these benefits, women need to be active participants rather than passive beneficiaries in community projects. This article presents findings from a rural water supply programme in Ghana that actively promoted greater women’s involvement. It found that training women technicians did more to galvanise their leadership potential, showcase their capabilities and make them more active participants in managing their respective village water facilities than simply including them on water management committees.
