The most important message that can be drawn on stakeholders’ contributions
towards rural – urban communities’ water supply is the assessment results of
infrastructure/facilities. To accomplish this, a thorough appraisal of the
infrastructure/facilities in question is needed for effective and safe water supply.
Therefore, this study uses field inventory data and geographic techniques in
evaluating various stakeholders’ contribution in Akoko North East Local
Government Area. The techniques and data generated are applied appropriately to
understand water supply stakeholders’ strengths and weaknesses. However, the
study reveals that the impacts of stakeholders on water supply are more felt in the
rural areas when the facilities are assessed in term of infrastructure versus human
population. In addition, the study shows that not only is there a higher incidence of
non-functioning water facilities in the rural areas as opposed to urban areas, but
there are more poor people with poor resource in the urban areas than in those
rural areas.
