PPP with local informal providers aimed at improving water supply in the peri-urban areas of Maputo, Mozambique Emmanuel Chaponniere Bernard Collignon 2134/30397 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/conference_contribution/PPP_with_local_informal_providers_aimed_at_improving_water_supply_in_the_peri-urban_areas_of_Maputo_Mozambique/9592109 Water supply in Maputo is quite unique in Africa as the service is provided not only by an incumbent operator contracted by the public authorities but also by a striking number of 450 small-scale independent private operators producing water through their own boreholes. These operators are mostly concentrated in peri-urban areas and provide services ranging from standpipe to private connections reaching more than 500,000 people. In order to extend the public service to the peri-urban areas where the conventional network is not present, a multi donor’s funded project has implemented local PPP mobilizing these private operators and the national water assets management institution, FIPAG. This paper, after a brief description of the Maputo context, describes the setting up and the first monitoring results of these local PPP. 2018-02-12 15:09:47 untagged
