Abstract: The relationship between governance structures for managing water in selected cities and the performance of water policy outcomes (access, quality, tariffs, reliability of service provision, equity, sustainability, etc. ) and to explore governance mechanisms that can deal with fragmentation to improve urban water management, including those favouring inter-sectoral complementarities. This implies looking at coordination failures and best practices across water management functions drinking water supply. As such, the paper will focus more specifically on the contribution of governance, urban partnerships and stakeholder engagement as governance instruments that can help address fragmentation of water-related tasks, and foster cooperation to overcome mismatches across water management functions in a given city, between cities and their surroundings, and between water functions and other policy areas.
