Toolkits for Private Participation in Water and Sanitation

ISBN: 9780821340035
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Millions of urban dwellers, especially the poor, lack adequate access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Improving services significantly will, in most cases, require more efficient operation of water utilities and investments in rehabilitating and extending supply systems. Many central and local governments are turning to the private sector to help address these needs, but steps must be taken to ensure that the private sector arrangements fit local circumstances, that the regulatory environment is suitable, and that the reforms respond to the concerns of those affected. This set of handsomely designed toolkits, three volumes in all, have been prepared to transmit the experience gained elsewhere and the lessons this experience offers on what can make or break the process of private sector involvement. The toolkits are meant to support, not substitute for, independent advice from experienced professional firms. Toolkit 1, Selecting an Option for Private Sector Participation , sets out the issues that a government must work through (legal and regulatory arrangements, tariffs and subsidies, political support) to identify which kind of private sector arrangement best meets the specific needs and circumstances. Toolkit 2, Designing and Implementing an Option for Private Sector Participation , focuses on how governments move from identifying their preferred option to implementing it. Toolkit 3, What a Private Sector Participation Arrangement Should Cover , concentrates on the issues and risks that governments must address in the resulting contractual arrangement. Each set of toolkits is accompanied by an introductory brochure that answers questions policymakers at the local and national levels alike may ask themselves when considering whether and how to involve the private sector in the provision of water and sanitation services.

Book Description
Part of OECD Water Policy and Finance Set - Buy all four reports and save over 30% on buying separately! Many countries have sought the involvement of the private sector to upgrade and develop their water and sanitation infrastructure and improve the efficiency of water systems. However, high capital intensity, large initial outlays, long pay-back periods, immobility of assets and low rates of return generate high risks. These factors, when combined with poor initial information and weak investment environment, limit the scale of private sector participation in water and sanitation infrastructure. Recognising this, the OECD has developed practical guidance, building on the OECD Principles for Private Sector Participation in Infrastructure, to help governments and other stakeholders to assess and manage the implications of involving private actors in the financing, development and management of water and sanitation infrastructure. The resulting OECD Checklist for Public Action provides a coherent catalogue of policy directions for consideration by governments, including appropriate allocation of roles, risks and responsibilities, framework conditions and contractual arrangements necessary to make the best of private sector participation and harness more effectively the capacities of all stakeholders.

Private Sector Participation in Water Supply and Sanitation in Latin America

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics

Pages : 64
Book Description
This report discusses ways in which the public and private sectors can cooperate in providing improved water and sanitation services. The return of cholera in 1991 to the Latin America and Caribbean region was only a symptom of the deep-seated problems and the fragility and inadequacy of publicly operated water supply and sanitation systems. Consequently, the agencies that operate these systems are entering a crucial phase of deciding whether they can greatly improve their operations while remaining in the public sector or whether they should seek increasing private sector financing and participation in both operations. This study consists of two chapters. The first analyzes the main problems of the public sector, explains the rationale behind private sector participation, and reviews an array of options for such participation. The second chapter highlights a case study of the Buenos Aires Concession--a large concession for the Greater Buenos Aires water supply and sewerage services awarded by the national government to a private consortium of foreign operators and local investors. The case study is an excellent example of how attention to the planning and contracting stages can ensure a successful transition from public to private management.
Private Sector Provision of Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Rural Areas and Small Towns

Book Description
Many developing countries are about to prepare their new strategies on how to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for universal and equitable access to water and sanitation by 2030.These new roadmaps need to put a focus on rural growth centers and small towns where the majority of those without access to water and sanitation reside. In 2015, a third of the global rural population was living within the service area of a small piped water scheme mainly operated by water users association. These schemes are generally ill-maintained and ill-managed. Recent experiences in seven developing countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Colombia, Niger, the Philippines, Senegal, and Uganda) have shown that domestic private sector participation (DPSP) is an effective and proven approach to address challenges in small towns' water and sanitation services delivery. The report aims at helping national and local governments in developing countries and water professionals to better engage with the domestic private sector in the provision of sustainable water and sanitation services in rural growth areas and small towns.

World Bank Discussion Paper No. 277. This study examines the structure and trends of energy demand in China, India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and Thailand. Chapters focus on energy efficiency and conservation in the industrial, transportation, household, and electric power sectors. Quantitative analysis is used to estimate key income, price elasticities, and energy demand for the next 10 to 12 years. The report evaluates possible energy conservation efforts. The authors provide a brief description of those countries' energy reserves, energy trade and production, and energy consumption by sector. They also make frequent reference to the ways in which Japan has succeeded in improving energy conservation in the various sectors.
