An Evaluation of the Contributing Factors of Water Scheme Failures in Nigeria

This paper utilizes information from the 2015 Nigeria National Water and Sanitation Survey to identify the extent and timing of the failure of water schemes in the country and the factors affecting it. Around 46 percent of all the water schemes in...
