Title
World Bank - Public-Private Partnerships
for Urban Water Utilities
A Review of Experiences in
Developing Countries
Abstract
In its look back at more than 15 years of experience with public-private
partnerships (PPPs) for urban water utilities in developing countries, this
book examines the performance of a large sample of PPPs in different
regions. Directed at policy makers in governments as well as donors and
other stakeholders, its aim is to better understand the contribution of water
PPPs to help improve the provision of water and sanitation services to the
urban populations of the developing world.
When money—public and private—is
scarce, improvements in service and effi ciency are essential, leading to a
better functioning of water utilities and eventually to improved creditworthiness,
which is even more true at a time of global fi nancial crisis. Welldesigned
public-private partnerships can help. Decision makers in developing
countries need to have various options to tackle the many challenges of
water utilities. This report confi rms that PPPs can be one of them.
