Abstract:  The rural water sector of Ghana has since 1993
implemented a policy of increased private sector
partnerships in the sector. The policy has resulted
in private sector driven supply chains in rural water
supply. This paper takes a look at these private
sector driven supply chains and perceptions of
various stakeholders regarding their outputs. These
perceptions were gathered through a survey carried
out in two communities in Ghana. The paper
concludes that though supply chains in the two
communities are significantly private sector driven,
demand for installation services are directly linked
to the activities of implementing agencies
(government, NGOs, international donor agencies)
whiles that of repair services, maintenance and
spare parts are directly linked to the installed
equipment. The policy of increased private sector
partnership must therefore look more closely at the
role of implementing agencies to ensure maximum
benefits are derived from its implementation.
