Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Survey—Methodology*
Objectives and Aims Part of the assessment and diagnostic of integrated urban water management (IUWM) in Africa consisted of a knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey on urban water management planning for decision makers and managers of African municipalities and water operators. The survey was inspired by previous work carried out by the World Bank Water and Sanitation Program for the Water Operators Partnership. In order to understand opportunities and constraints for IUWM in Africa, its principal aims were as follows: • identify the perceptions of the current and future challenges of urban water management by cities and water operators in Africa • provide information on the planning practices of these organizations. The specific aims of the survey were to understand the following: • aspects of current urban water management practices in Africa • attitudes of cities and water operators to urban water management * For more details, see Closas, Schemie, and Jacobsen. “Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Survey of Urban Water Management in Africa.” World Bank, Washington, DC.
