Water Get Enemy is a graphic novel about governance in the developing world. It illustrates the battles that must be waged inside the bureaucracy to deliver public services, and the threats that create government failure.
The story is based on the experiences of many government offices, and takes place in the fictional 'Zanzarim'. The issues are real, and every episode dealt with in the novel has been documented somewhere (frequently in many places). The story is a window into the politics, conflicts and heroes of government in the developing world.
Have you ever wondered why developing countries can't provide basic services to their people? Why is it so difficult to implement government projects in the developing world? Is it just down to a lack of money, to bad politics, or to corruption? Or is the answer more complex? Then this novel is for you.
We have also put together a short worksheet to support the teaching of the graphic novel, available at https://watergetenemy.org/Worksheet%20Template_Water%20Get%20Enemy.pdf
Finally, we have created a bonus chapter on 'sex and statistics' that describes the struggles of sourcing good statistics (and more broadly evidence) on which to make policy, and the struggles of being a women in government in the developing world. This bonus material for educators can be found at https://www.watergetenemy.org/bonusmaterial_sexandstatistics.html
