The Water Trap: Water Scarcity & Local Government Challenges... Narrating an experience
Synopsis
The Water Trap - At the Scotland G7/8 conference 2005 a select African Head of States were invited by the conference host Prime Minister Tony Blair as observers. Many of the issues discussed in that conference concerning Africa: Aspects of mitigation of the MDGs Millennium Development Goal, Human rights and Good Governance, Infrastructure transformation and several of the conditions G8 had towards the end of the conference packaged for African Head of States - these were the background factors that had strengthened the theme of this book.
Though the writing of this book was community 'cause-concern' triggered, still at the far background of the thinking was remotely - this justifying influence. The Water Trap is a non-fiction essay or narrative of a research on water scarcity in the town of Gulu in Northern Uganda during the war between government's UPDF//Rebel Kony LRA. The analysis evolves around the causes for the endemic water scarcity that drove scores of women scurrying for water every day.
This factor creates the sub-theme for studying the local government itself and it's nearly non-existent linkage to the national legislators who should loud these matters in parliament - narrated at the background of Uganda's 'Decentralization' as the overview factor.
Broadly, these factors carry the analysis along short, reader friendly prose. 'The Water Trap' is written in a 10 chapter fluid narration that had initially been intended for accompaniment 'voice over' of a video documentary whose captured theme eventually emerged into this book - this book covers effectively the Ugandan 7th and 8th Parliamentary.
