Cases of collaboration between four organisations working in the rural water supply sector and six local governments in Malawi are studied. Using a cross-case qualitative methodology, we illustrate how power and control translate into practices, leading to different levels of local government involvement in service delivery. This study contributes to the literature on cross-sector partnerships in particular by developing empirically-based propositions that help explain the dynamic trajectories that partnerships between local governments and their development partners can take. - Reproduced.
