The majority of the poor people in South and Southeast Asia do not
have sufficient access to safe potable water sources. Various
studies demonstrate that poor women have less access than poor men,
especially in the developing world. Due to the gendered division of
labor, the role of women, especially those who are poor, is vital
in collecting, distributing, and safeguarding water. Current
studies on water governance do not focus on poor women's ability to
access potable water sources through their involvement in the
distribution process. Water for Poor Women: Quest for an
Alternative Paradigm, by Sayeed Iftekhar Ahmed, develops an
alternative governance paradigm to ensure poor women's water
security through their participation in the governance process.
This study assesses the effects of governance on water distribution
and participation from the perspective of poor women. Ahmed
examines the state-led and Public Private Participation (PPP)
governance systems located in two developing metropolises: Dhaka,
Bangladesh and Manila, the Philippines, respectively. This crucial
investigation reveals that poor women have very limited ability to
access water under the state-led governance system in Dhaka, but
comparatively more ability to access water resources under the PPP
governance in Manila. However, women are excluded from the
decision-making process under both types of governance systems.
Water for Poor Women proposes an alternative system of governance
for ensuring women's participation in the governance processes to
promote the goal of more equitable distribution of urban water.
