100‐days rapid change initiatives in African public water utilities

This paper aims to test the 100‐days rapid change model for African public water utilities.

A case study is conducted of three 100‐days rapid change programs in public water utilities in Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia.

The study finds that the 100‐days rapid change model is partly applicable to the African public water sector, given the right conditions.

The findings compose a motive and guidance for policy makers and public sector managers in developing countries to undertake 100‐days rapid change programs.

To date, no research is available on 100‐days rapid change programs in public water utilities from developing countries.
