Convincing people to pay for water: Nkouondja in Cameroon

Nkouondja village in Cameroon was suffering from a collapsed water management committee and a water supply system that functioned only partially. It is now transformed into a system that wins the confidence of donors and serves as a famous example in the area. The changes in management, and the rehabilitation of the physical system, were the result of the experimental approach taken by the PAR which allowed people themselves to develop improved approaches to fund raising, good record keeping, accountability and transparency.
