BERNAL, Andrea; RIVAS, Luis  e  PENA, Pilar. Proposal for a Model of Co-Management for the Small Community Water Supplies in Colombia. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.43, pp.159-184. ISSN 0188-7653.

This paper reviews the conceptual evolution of Community Based Monitoring (CBM) from different approaches : social capital, common pool resources and co-management or collaborative management, and presents the main co-management strategies applied to water supply at small scale: local and community driven development (LCDD) and sustainable services at scale (SSS). Supported by this theoretical background, and in order to improve access to drinking water in rural communities in Colombia, the authors propose a co-management model for small and community water supplies.
