自1990年以来，乌干达在农村供水方面经历了重大政策转变，从供应驱动转向需求驱动。这篇文章阐明了农村人口在不断变化的体制框架内获得安全用水的情况。我们分析了从国家到社区层面的主要信息提供者的个人和小组访谈以及“社会生态系统”框架下的相关官方文件。自实施需求驱动办法以来，农村安全用水覆盖面略有改善，但水源的运营和维护构成了一项重大挑战，妨碍长期获得安全用水。突然和自上而下强加的政策转变导致新旧政策发出相互竞争的信号，造成责任、规则和激励措施的不确定性和模糊性。分析表明，必须考虑到国家体制干扰对地方长期获得安全用水的集体行动的影响。
Uganda has experienced a major policy shift from a supply-driven to a demand-driven approach in rural water provision since 1990. The article sheds light on the rural population’s access to safe water within the changing institutional frameworks. We analysed individual and group interviews with key informants from national to community levels and relevant official documents with the ‘Social-Ecological Systems’ framework. Since the implementation of the demand-driven approach, rural safe water coverage has slightly improved but operation and maintenance of water sources pose a great challenge hampering, long-term access to safe water. The abrupt and top-down imposed policy shift has resulted in competing signals from old and new policies creating uncertainty and ambiguity about responsibilities, rules and incentives. The analysis shows the importance of taking into account the implications of national institutional disturbances on local collective action for long-term access to safe water.
