A partnership model to deliver water and sanitation to the urban poor
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Esther Gerlach, Richard FranceysMore than one billion slum dwellers in developing country cities and surrounding peri-urban areas are disproportionately
affected by non-existent or seriously inadequate water and sanitation services. In view of resource constraints faced by
NGOs, and society’s rejection of the ‘development shortcut’ private sector participation, ailing public water authorities
seem unlikely to be able to meet the Millennium Development Goals for urban water and sanitation. The WSUP alliance
combines the strengths of its business, NGO and academic members to facilitate greater effectiveness in delivering water
and sanitation services to poor urban communities in management partnerships with local service authorities. This paper
introduces the WSUP approach and reflects on lessons from the first pilot projects.
