| description |
Countries emerging from a devastating
conflict need to rapidly restore access to basic water and
sanitation services for their population. While donors
usually stand ready with generous reconstruction packages,
the conflict may have left local institutions ill equipped
to make good use of those resources. The traditional
solution, involving technical assistance delivered by
international consultants, has often proved disappointing.
An alternative is to bring in a professional operator for a
few years through a management contract. In postwar Kosovo
the sizable improvements achieved under a three year
management contract for water services in the
Gjakove-Rahovec area suggest that it can be a promising
approach for post-conflict situations. |
