Abstract

It is now widely recognized that infrastructure development (transportation, telecommunication, energy, water) are prerequisites for social and economic development. Although private initiatives were historically instrumental in the development of some of this infrastructure, it has traditionally been the responsibility of the state. Expanding and maintaining this infrastructure presents a major challenge for many countries. This chapter presents some of the issues surrounding private sector participation (PSP) in the water supply sector and presents the results of a research project on ‘Social Policy, Regulation and Private Sector Involvement in the Water Supply’.
