Financing and cost recovery: What happens after construction?
conference contribution
posted on 2006-06-05, 10:17 authored by Catarina Fonseca, Cyrus NjiruWATER AND SANITATION PROJECTS are known to bring
wider economic benefits to communities in the form of
health, opportunities for women and poverty reduction.
Given the overall societal gains that can be achieved, water
and sanitation services should be improved, especially for
the poor. However, the challenge to finance new projects
and increase sustainable access to water and sanitation
services is particularly acute, largely due to lack of ability
to generate funds for operations, maintenance, expansions
and upgrades, coupled with insufficient institutional and
administrative capacity.
