La demande de raccordement des ménages auprès des petits opérateurs privés d'eau potable. Le cas des quartiers périphériques de Maputo

The purpose of this article is to explain the choice of private water connection by urban households in peripheral districts using microdata from Maputo (Mozambique). Using data on 880 households, we estimate probit models. Results contribute to the literature on households? water supply in Africa. In particular, we show that the peripheral districts are heterogeneous and the private connections developed by the small-scale private operators are not yet used by the poorest households (income below one dollar per day per person).
