This book attends to the processes of water policy formulation and
implementation in Ireland and Ghana, offering important insights
into the ways in which public administrations operate in a
developed and a developing country setting. Tenets of
sustainability require nations to develop capacities to enable them
strike a balance between harnessing environmental resources to
improve the quality of life of their citizens; and adopting
measures to guarantee environmental protection. Following the
'sustainability path', this book seeks to illuminate understanding
of the complexities involved in policy formulation and
implementation of water policy in Ireland and Ghana. It concludes
that policy formulation has not facilitated implementation of water
policy in both countries, largely because endeavours in this light
have been externally driven by such organisations as the European
Union, the World Bank the and International Monetary Fund. As a way
forward, the book suggests the effective implementation of water
policy through robust coordination of economic, political and
administrative governance mechanisms in line with the national
contexts and local realities of the countries studied.
