| description |
In post-apartheid Johannesburg, South
Africa, the city water authority had fallen into disarray (a
common situation with urban services). In 2001, a
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) emerged as a way to bring
new expertise and efficiency to the delivery of public
utility services, where a five-year management contract
successfully restored services, built local capacity, and
helped put Johannesburg Water on a solid footing. The
management contract for water supply and sanitation services
in Johannesburg, South Africa presents an entirely different
perspective. The municipal government implemented the PPP as
an interim measure, part of a program specifically designed
to improve the efficiency of municipal public services.
While an experienced international operator was brought in,
the aim of the PPP was not to transfer management to a
private concessionaire for the long run. Instead, the goal
was to establish a viable, corporatized public water utility
by leveraging the expertise of an experienced private
operator for a number of years. |
