This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, grade: 0.75, , course: Climate Change and Sustainable Development, language: English, abstract: To sustainably provide institutional water supply and sanitation services under climate change, there is a need to develop adaptive capacity for the effects of climate change on the systems. This study assessed the adaptive capacity for institutional water supply and sanitation service delivery under climate change in Chingola, Zambia. The study had three objectives: (1) to determine the extent of vulnerability to climate change of the institutional water supply and sanitation service delivery in Chingola, Zambia; (2) to evaluate the institutional preparedness for climate change effects on water supply and sanitation in Chingola, Zambia and; (3) to identify the climate change adaptation options for institutional water supply and sanitation service delivery in Chingola, Zambia. A structured questionnaire and a vulnerability scoring matrix were used to address the objectives.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a topical issue in water management in Africa, because of the complex challenges it confronts institutional actors with in order to respond to these threats. The research undertook an institutional analysis to understand capacities for collaboration, adaptation and precaution in development of water supply systems. Four coastal villages in Ghana were selected as case studies to assess the capacities of institutions to respond and how these deal with existing and future climate change induced sea level rise conditions. The findings show local perceptions are consistent with available evidence of current water salinization vulnerabilities in the area due to rapid coastal erosion and inundation. However, sea level rise will exacerbate the existing problems by causing more frequent storm surges and extension of tidal regimes further inland. It is concluded that: (i) There is a commitment to adaptation but no clear intent of precaution. Local and district institutions adopt incremental (traditional) responses because they lack the requisite capacities to adapt to the scale and complexity involved. Non-traditional externally initiated (International and national institutions) large scale projects have potentials to ameliorate future impacts. However, they are mainly adaptive by intent with precaution only implicit by default of the scale of these developments. (ii) The governance structure presents perplexing constraints and opportunities for institutional collaboration for adaptation action. It is top down, characterized by weak internal capacities, asymmetrical power distribution and poorly coordinated. This undermines collaboration and facilitation of adaptive capacities. Conversely, it shows some robustness and redundancy being multi-layered where collaboration, especially with foreign agencies, provides opportunities for large scale interventions. (iii) Long term adaptation would require certain socio-ecological restructuring, along with a comprehensive and practical climate change adaptation strategy at all scales, where the precautionary principle is integral.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I use SNA to articulate adaptive capacity more fully, highlighting the importance of network social capital; the results indicate that strong relationships exist between survey and networks approaches to adaptive capacity. In Chapter 4 I explore agrarian change and the current prevalence of non-agrarian livelihoods in rural South Africa. Chapter 4 expands upon an understanding of adaptive capacity on rural landscapes. Finally, in Chapter 5 I conclude that my research will expand upon work on networks and rural livelihood change in the developing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to water supply and sanitation (WSS) services remains stubbornly low in Zambia. This poor record on WSS service delivery is disastrous for Zambia's economy by negatively affecting human capital development, which in turn creates a drag on the economy. Successive governments in Zambia have recognized this important sector of the economy and launched reforms and investment programs. Successive governments in Zambia have recognized this important sector of the economy and launched reforms and investment programs. This analysis shows that Zambia's chronically inefficient water utilities are creating a fiscal burden and making it harder for the government to finance the sector. The rest of the report is organized as follows: Chapter 2 provides an analysis of the strategic relevance of the WSS programs to Zambia's economy, drawing on existing literature on the economic impacts of WSS and analysis of a sample of projects in both programs. Chapter 3 analyzes the extent to which the programs are structured to deliver desired results, focusing on the design and prioritization of investments, implementation arrangements, and monitoring and evaluation. Chapter 4 provides an analysis of the expenditure framework for both programs and the extent to which it supports efficient program implementation. Chapter 5 summarizes opportunities that exist to enhance the effectiveness and impact of both programs and makes recommendations on medium-term actions to advance Zambia's WSS sector and narrow the gap between policy and practice.
