Cost recovery for water supply, policy and practice in Bangladesh
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:10 authored by Shirin P. Biswas, Marieke AdankThe National Policy for Safe Drinking Water supply and Sanitation of Bangladesh states that “in the near future”, larger
parts of the construction costs of water supply systems should be recovered from the users. Furthermore, the policy prescribes
that user communities should become responsible for O&M of the water supply facilities in rural areas and should
bear 100% of the costs for this. The policy states that transaction should be more towards cost recovery and financing
practices for water supply should be gradual and there should be a safety net for the hard-core poor. This paper deals with
the cost recovery and financing of water supply according to the National and how it is interpreted and put into practice
by different organizations.
