Internet of Things innovation in rural water supply in sub-Saharan Africa: a critical assessment of emerging ICT
Summary. IoT and digital technologies are transforming rural water supply in sub-Saharan Africa, but their sustainability and integration into existing systems remain under-researched. This paper contextualizes rural water challenges in Tanzania as a complex problem, evaluates emerging ICT and IoT solutions, and argues that practitioners and policymakers must adopt a service delivery approach supported by better data collection and information flows to improve sustainability.
