Almost 1/3 of constructed rural water points are dysfunctional in Kenya at any given time, finds an SNV water mapping report conducted in Kenya in 2013.Rural water systems are managed by voluntary Water Users Associations (WUAs) that lack the business know-how required to ensure the financial and commercial sustainability of services. WUAs suffer from poorly set up governance and management structures. This is further exacerbated by a lack of reliable data and dilapidated water infrastructure.
