摘要：An analytical framework for the participation of rural community members as water users and their representation in the water sector in Zimbabwe is proffered. The framework is generated by reflecting on some key concepts on the local level participation and representational participation. Our approach is also located within theories on community institutional arrangements for collective natural resource management, but we also draw extensively from our field experiences. The ultimate objective is to develop a model that is both theoretically sound and applicable in practice. Consequently, we applied the framework to a specific case in southwestern Zimbabwe, where we isolated the smallholder formal and informal irrigation stakeholder groups to see how the framework might help us understand community participation in smallholder irrigation activities and their subsequent representation in the new water councils.
