Explaining Rwanda's prioritisation of rural electrification over rural clean drinking water through institutional path dependency

The role of corporate social responsibility and government incentives in installing industrial wastewater treatment plants: SEM-ANN deep learning approach

“…It can be because of a lack of funds, seriousness toward water management, or government priorities. It has almost the same results where researchers found that government priorities are more inclined towards providing electricity and other facilities compared to taking care of health 18 . But it contradicts earlier researchers’ findings that government incentives play a significant role in electronic vehicles and innovations 36 , 37 , 39 or intentions to use clean water 29 .…”

“…Recent studies are mainly focusing on the technologies of water treatment plants 11 – 16 , the impact of clean drinking water on children under the age of five 17 , and government priorities of rural electrification over clean drinking water 18 , diseases and dangers to people's health caused by polluted water 5 , potential hazards to the environment and human health involved with the reuse of wastewater for irrigation 10 , Health risks associated with wastewater 9 . In addition, a large number of studies have led researchers to conclude that company size is an important mediator in various settings at the firm level 19 , 20 .…”

Use of ICTS for socio-economic development of marginalised communities in rural areas: Proposals for establishment of sectoral Rural Entrepreneurial Networks
