CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AS A STRATEGIC TOOL TO EFFICIENT WATER SUPPLY CHAINS: A CASE OF MABVUKU-TAFARA SUBURBS OF HARARE, ZIMBABWE

Öz

Lack of Corporate Governance in Water Supply Chain Management affect service delivery leading to sluggish societal development. Water crisis has contributed much to marginalization of the vulnerable in society and outbreak of healthy chal-lenges such as waterborne diseases. Exploitable water sources, if properly exploit-ed, lead to adequate water supplies for domestic consumption. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to explore if the respondents felt Corporate Governance tenets were in use and how these could embedded in the management culture to en-sure seamless water supply provision. A sample size of 98, randomly selected from a targeted population of 400 subjects for representativeness from Mabvuku-Tafara Suburbs of Harare. Ninety-three questionnaires were randomly distributed and 62 responses retrieved. Researchers used a snowball-sampling technique to identify interviewees for the study. SPSS was used for data analysis and Atlasti.9 software. The study found out that water crisis was still a perennial issue. Households relied on unprotected water sources. A few respondents sourced water from private com-panies into the business of bottled water. Women and young girls were sexually abused they queued for water deep into the night. The study recommends adoption of corporate governance principles in water supply chain management to meet in-ternational best practices in water provision for the good of all citizens. Revamping the existing water infrastructure, use of e-procurement systems to eliminate unethi-cal practices in the buying of chemicals to purify water and promotion of a culture of tolerance were some strategies that could enhance service delivery.
