Public-private partnerships for service delivery : water and sanitation
This paper states that, the manner in which provision of basic infrastructure services is dispensed to meet the demands of the public in general will determine the level of economic activity and, in turn, the overall development of a nation. Most sectors cannot function without electricity, telecommunications, and water; therefore, the adequate and effective provision of these services is central to the growth of an economy and the improvement of public welfare. Infrastructure can be seen as the "wheels of economic activity". Adequate and effective delivery of public services is also central to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Thus, to ensure sustainable development and guarantee a progressive stride towards achieving many of the goals, in particular, improved health and environmental sustainability, widespread access to water, sanitation and other basic public services are proving to be fundamental preconditions.
