“…In SSA, attempts to bring this new mode of water governance into practice have been made in Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe (Kemerink et al 2016;Komakech and van der Zaag 2013;Manzungu 2002;Roncoli et al 2016). The creation of water user platforms is usually introduced through a reform in the national law.…”

“…Water forums tend to be comprised of representatives of formal organizations such as farmer unions (e.g., in Zimbabwe) or more often WUAs (e.g., in Kenya and Burkina Faso). In Zimbabwe, those so-called representatives were found to have weak linkages with the actual water users (Manzungu 2002). In Burkina Faso and Kenya, individual water users, such as pastoralists and riparian irrigators, were found to be excluded (Kemerink et al 2016;Roncoli et al 2016).…”

Working PapersThe publications in this series record the work and thinking of IWMI researchers, and knowledge that the Institute's scientific management feels is worthy of documenting. This series will ensure that scientific data and other information gathered or prepared as a part of the research work of the Institute are recorded and referenced. Working Papers could include project reports, case studies, conference or workshop proceedings, discussion papers or reports on progress of research, country-specific research reports, monographs, etc. Working Papers may be copublished, by IWMI and partner organizations.Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMIIWMI's mission is to provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage water and land resources for food security, people's livelihoods and the environment. IWMI works in partnership with governments, civil society and the private sector to develop scalable agricultural water management solutions that have a tangible impact on poverty reduction, food security and ecosystem health.

“…Due to the power differences, stakeholder engagement has largely reproduced new forms of inequities (Chikowore et al, 2002;Manzungu, 2002;Marimbe and Manzungu, 2003). Most water reforms at national level tend to undermine the role of smallholder farmers and village chiefs (Acharya, 2004;Bassett and Crummey, 2003;Swatuk, 2004).…”

“…The reforms that precipitated IWRM were however very much shaped by a local national agenda: they were meant to redress the colonially inherited inequalities in agricultural water, increase water security to protect against drought, increase revenues (hence considering water as an economic good), and more generally to improve the management of scarce water resources and to include the environment as a water user (Manzungu, 2002). A new institutional structure was created for water, independent of other administrative and political divisions.…”

This article offers an approach to the study of the evolution, spread and uptake of integrated water resources management (IWRM). Specifically, it looks at the flow of IWRM as an idea in international and national fora, its translation and adoption into national contexts, and the on-the-ground practices of IWRM. Research carried out in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique provides empirical insights into the politics of IWRM implementation in southern Africa, the interface between international and national interests in shaping water policies in specific country contexts, and the on-theground challenges of addressing equity, redress and the reallocation of water.
