Abstract

It is now widely recognized that infrastructure development (transportation, telecommunication, energy, water) are prerequisites for social and economic development.

Expanding and maintaining this infrastructure presents a major challenge for many countries. This chapter presents some of the issues surrounding private sector participation (PSP) in the water supply sector and presents the results of a research project on ‘Social Policy, Regulation and Private Sector Involvement in the Water Supply’.
