Abstract: The modes of governance of drinking water services, recommended at the global level, are based on partnerships between national or local public entities, private operators and users' associations. They rely on weak consideration, by development agencies, of representations and endogenous management principles of the access to drinking water in the African societies. In a context of increasing demand and the difficulties to finance infrastructure investment and maintenance, the lack of capacities and/or willingness of populations to pay for water hinders the construction of local water markets.
