Abstract

Socio-political factors shape urban water insecurity, yet are often not incorporated into urban water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) planning. WASH service coverage rates in Cartagena, Colombia, suggest high water security, yet the history of water policy and governance in the city from 1991 to 2019 reveals a more complex reality of water insecurity that is not reflected in service coverage indicators. This case study bridges scientific enquiry with policy to demonstrate how weak institutions and governance at municipal levels undermine local water security and the implementation of national sustainable development policy.
