Presentation

This project aims to analyze in a comparative way the hybrid institutional mechanisms (formal and informal rules and procedures) in the field of water resource management between the rural communities of San Andrés de Yanacca and Llactacunca (Cotabambas, Apurímac) that have adopted the model of the Administrative Board of Sanitation Service (JASS) proposed by the National Plan for Rural Sanitation – PNSR of the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation – MVCS. The research aim is aligned with the thematic area of rural development, specifically, rural sanitation and the need to identify necessary improvements in the design of the Administrative Board of Sanitation Service (JASS).

The scope of the study will be in two rural communities in the Tambobamba district, Cotabambas, Apurímac. In this locality, community-managed rural sanitation has been promoted in recent decades, following the guidelines of the Integrated Management of Water Resources, which has led to dissimilar results. This qualitative research proposal is methodologically inserted comparative studies within institutional ethnography with organizational actors. For this reason, for the application, participant observation, interviews and file review will be used as methodological tools.
