Northern Ghana has been a pilot region for implementing drinking water programs.
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has acted as a key player in
constructing hand pumps and small-town water systems, as well as in designing
institutional frameworks for their delivery and management, which have been
subsequently up-scaled to national level. Water rights are neither uniform nor immune
to institutional drawbacks. The ethnographic study analyzes the history of water supply
in a rural settlement from the mid-1960s through to 2012, and outlines the evolution of
local law. It shows that water development is a non-progressive, multi-directional and
hegemonic process that is driven by institutional bricolage and rule making in external
and local political arenas.
