The Angolan State’s post-war center-piece reconstruction program, to provide the human right to ‘Water to All’, remains incomplete. The majority of Angola’s peri-urban communities still use the informal market to fill the gap. Water selling is the largest sub-sector of Luanda’s extensive informal economy, involving extractors, transporters and retailers. Negotiating for water at the local household level involves significant trading in social capital. Communities in Angola’s musseques have built on neighborhood solidarity to manage the supply of water themselves. The article is drawn from the authors’ experience in practice to examine the complexity of Angola’s informal water economy and local-level innovative responses. The Government has drawn on these lessons and adopted the community management model MoGeCA (the Portuguese language acronym for Model of Community Water Management)to help address the shortfall. The article is written from a practitioner’s point of view, based on more than a decade of experimentation in practice and support from USAID and UNICEF in taking community management to the national scale.

安哥拉Musseques的社区管理和“人人享有水”的需求

安哥拉国家的战后核心重建计划，以提供“人人享有水”的人权，仍未完成。大多数安哥拉城郊社区仍然使用非正规市场来填补空白。水销售是罗安达广泛的非正规经济中最大的子部门，涉及抽取者、运输者和零售商。当地家庭层面的水谈判涉及大量的社会资本交易。安哥拉Musseques的社区建立在邻里团结的基础上，自己管理供水。这篇文章取材于作者的实践经验，以考察安哥拉非正规水经济的复杂性和地方层面的创新反应。政府吸取了这些教训，并采用了社区管理模式 MoGeCA（葡萄牙语社区水管理模式的首字母缩写词）来帮助解决这一不足。这篇文章是从实践者的角度撰写的，基于十多年的实践实验以及美国国际开发署和联合国儿童基金会在将社区管理提升到全国范围方面的支持。
