ABSTRACT

The paper has interrogated various policies that different countries have put in place to mitigate sustainable water services thereby ensuring the achievement of universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 6.1) targets. By using a comparative analysis of institutional arrangements under the theoretical framework of New Public Management, we assessed the main approaches that have directly or indirectly been implemented by government in transition democracies and the results realized. The paper has argued that the application of New Public Management approaches has been responsible for the dynamism witnessed in water service policies and the different results realized towards sustainable water supply to the deserving population in transition democracies.
