Summary: | The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP),
administered by the World Bank, helps countries find
sustainable solutions to ensure efficient delivery of the
quality water supply and sanitation services the population
demands. The WSP is carrying out a systematic analysis in
several countries to identify the role of small-scale
providers (SSP) of water and sanitation services to poor
populations not served by public and private entities. The
study also examines how these operators fit in and respond
to sector policies and the organization of the sector in
each country. The objective of this study is to identify the
reasons for the existence of small-scale providers of water
SSP in Peru and to evaluate the experience of these
operators, with an emphasis on their coverage, service
quality, costs and sustainability. The evaluation also
includes proposals to improve service to the market
traditionally served by SSP. The study was divided into
three phases: (a) a sector assessment to determine why
sector policies and financial and institutional resources
have not produced service provision to the entire
population, particularly to the segments served by SSP; (b)
surveys in 14 communities with SSP and an analysis of
responses to questions pertaining to legal, technical,
market and financial aspects, as well as consumers'
perceptions; and (c) sector policy recommendations with
respect to SSP, and suggestions for priority projects to
support better service delivery. |
