Enabling small-scale water providers in Kibera

The small-scale providers are significant actors in the provision of services to the urban poor. This paper focuses on preparing pragmatic tasks to enable the water providers operating in informal settlements and deals with the issues of price, quality and abstraction. It is conceived in the context of the present government reforms in Kenya and addresses the water needs of the urban poor. This is also part of the present interest of the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP)- Africa that is working with clients to find pragmatic ways to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in Africa.
