Description:	The outcomes of the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), held in Johannesburg in 2002, were noteworthy, not for the traditional, formal governmentally-agreed commitments (Type One agreements) but for the advent of voluntary, multi-stakeholder partnerships (Type Two Partnerships or TTPs) aimed at complementing governmental efforts to achieve goals outlined in international sustainable development agreements. At the WSSD, governments agreed to halve the number of people worldwide who lacked access to safe water and sanitation by 2015. This book examines three of the relatively few TTPs which focused on helping to achieve the drinking water and sanitation goals in Africa, where water issues were most acute: the EU Water Initiative (EUWI); Partners for Water and Sanitation (PAWS); and the West Africa Water Initiative (WAWI). By undertaking a comparative analysis of these case studies, our aim is to evaluate the worth of TTPs as governance mechanisms, in terms of both processes and outputs.
