Programs to reform urban utilities and
to engage the private sector have tended to focus on large
cities and on transactions with large foreign private
operators. This is changing, as smaller towns and cities are
growing rapidly in many developing countries. Concurrently,
decentralization is shifting responsibility for services
from national to smaller entities that often cannot finance
and manage them effectively. Paralleling this trend, new
service models in which local private firms contract with
local governments or community associations to provide water
supply and sanitation (WSS) services have been proposed in
smaller urban contexts. The author examined how these
challenges are being addressed in eight World Bank projects
in Cambodia, Colombia, Paraguay, the Philippines, and
Uganda. In all five countries, the government has sought
public-private partnerships to promote sustainability,
increase access to services (particularly for the poor),
and, except in Cambodia, strengthen the role of local
government. All five countries have policies that encourage
greater access to services by the poor, to the extent
consistent with the paramount goal of financial viability.
Investment subsidies, particularly those targeting the poor,
have played an important role in all cases. |
