Abstract

This study sought to:

  • assess the capacities of water supply and roads agencies to effectively deliver services
  • examine transparency, accountability and voicing mechanisms in water and roads services delivery
  • assess the degree and factors affecting clients’ satisfaction in water and roads services delivery
  • identify and analyze major differences between the 2 cities in the respective sectors in terms of important governance variables (alternative delivery mechanisms, transparency, accountability, and voicing mechanisms)
  • recommend ways of improving the governance and delivery of water and roads services in Addis Ababa and Hawassa cities.

This report was produced as part oa Global Research Project, ‘Varieties of Governance: Effective Public Service Delivery’, supported by the UK Government through the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR).
