Abstract

[fre] Les services essentiels couvrent des services qualifiés d’utilités comme l’eau, l’assainissement, la collecte et le traitement des déchets indispensables pour améliorer l’hygiène. Ils comprennent aussi l’accès à l’énergie, en particulier l’électricité, les déplacements et désormais les télécommunications. Face à l’ambition des objectifs du millénaire de l’ONU, les questions de financement sont le plus souvent mises en avant comme étant la difficulté majeure. L’expérience montre que la question centrale est d’abord celle de la gouvernance ou de la maîtrise publique et de la régulation, et donc celle de la capacité ou de la compétence des autorités responsables à assumer leur rôle convenablement. Cet article revient ainsi sur les principes de la gouvernance, avant d’aborder la problématique de la tarification et du financement des services essentiels, puis les réformes à conduire dans les pays en développement. . Classification JEL : H41, I31 [eng] Economy and governance of essential or basic services . Essential services cover useful services as water, cleaning up, waste collection and treatment to improve hygiene. They also include the access to energy, particularly electricity, transports and now telecommunications. Face with UN Millennium Development Goals, financial questions are often put forward as being the major difficulty. Experience shows that the central question concerns first governance or public management and regulation, and so the authorities’ capacity or competence to take their role properly. This article deals so with governance principles, problems of price setting and the financing of essential services, then necessary reforms in developing countries. . JEL classification : H41, I31
