Public Private Partnerships for Development: A critical look at water and sanitation

Inhaltsangabe: Abstract: Public-private partnerships are a tool that is increasingly used by development agencies to improve infrastructure in developing countries. This concept is also employed in piped water provision. The failure of some major projects suggests that there is considerable risk involved when the public and private sectors combine forces. The fact that piped water provision is a natural monopoly and therefore needs extensive regulation makes the cooperation between the public and private sector very difficult. Indeed, weak regulation is the probably the most important risk factor. Other risk factors include political instability, inadequate tariff and contract design, and lack of public support. These risk factors are analyzed using four case studies, two failed ones and two that are considered relatively successful. The analysis aims to find answers to the question whether the initiative of development agencies to heavily promote the concept of public-private partnerships in water and sanitation is justified and appropriate.

Andere Risikofaktoren sind politische Instabilit t, ein schlecht gestaltetes Geb hrensystem, ein ungenauer Vertrag und fehlende Unterst tzung der Bev lkerung und der Regierung. Diese Faktoren werden mit Hilfe von vier Fallbespielen analysiert, zwei g
