Sustainable service provision for the urban poor
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Roland WerchotaThe regular appearance of epidemics in African cities
like cholera reminds us that despite efforts and important
changes put into the sector during the last 20 years, huge
problems still persist. The rate of water related illnesses has
not significantly declined. The reason is without doubt the
continuing low attention given to problems of the poor and
low-income groups during restructuring processes.
Unfortunately, when the focus shifts to commercial viability,
the widely proclaimed commitment to water and adequate
sanitation for everyone, as a basic human right, seems to be
ignored.
