Abstract
The purpose of this research was to assess women participation in rural water supply, a case of selected villages in Morogoro District council. These villages are Manza, Lugono, Lubungo, Sangasanga and Mgudeni. In the assessment, the following independent variables namely; planning, implementation, maintenance and reasons for low participation of women were taken into consideration. The women participation was considered as an independent variable.
The results of the study showed that women participation in Rural Water Programme (RWSP) is affected by a number of factors such as cultural factors, traditional gender based division of labour, domestic roles, scattered location of households, bad quality of water and women shying away from leadership positions.
