Approaches to private participation in water services

The World Bank is preparing a new toolkit on the design of private participation in water and sanitation (water services) with funding from the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), the Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership, and its own resources. The Toolkit aims to help advisors to municipal, provincial, and central governments in developing countries design arrangements with private participation that extend access to efficient water services at reasonable prices.

The Toolkit derives from the Infrastructure Action Plan, in which the World Bank highlighted a framework for providing clients with a broad menu of options for public and private roles in the provision and financing of infrastructure services. Upcoming products on modes of engagement with public providers will describe other options.

The Toolkit can be downloaded as an entire document or by section.
