Title
WEDC - How Small Water Enterprises can contribute to the Millennium Development Goals
Abstract
For centuries, Small Water Enterprises (SWEs) have supplied a large share of the
water market in the urban centres ofmost low-income countries. Such SWEs have
proved themselves economically viable, and often operate in competitive conditions.
They extend water services to informal settlements that have little prospect of
being supplied with piped water from the local utility. Unfortunately, they attract
comparatively little investment, and even less support from govermnents. The
incremental but critically important improvements they can provide tend to be
overlooked by govemments and international agencies. In international statistics
any household that gets its water from vendors is delined as lacking access to
improved water supplies.
