My research will be looking into how the gender dimension can be investigated in community-driven multiple use water services (MUS) projects and land tenure. At the core of the research is the formulation of a methodology of how the above-mentioned research goal can be achieved on the ground. A case study on operationalising MUS in South Africa will form part of the research.
The following objectives will form part of the research:
• To identify equitable participatory decision-making opportunities for
water management for the different water users.
• To explore gender differences in productive uses of water.
• To explore the relationship between investment in water technology and
land tenure.
