Public-private partnerships in the water and sanitation sector
journal contribution
posted on 2009-09-15, 13:54 authored by M. Sohail (Khan), Sue CavillFollowing the growth, employment and redistribution
(GEAR) programme in June 1996, South Africa saw an
acceleration in the privatisation of service delivery. This
paper reports on a study of two longer-term
public–private partnerships (PPPs) in the water and
sanitation sector undertaken in Queenstown and Dolphin
Coast. The case studies offer important insights into a
number of factors that determine the effectiveness of
PPPs, including quality and quantity of services, workers,
municipal tariffs for water and sanitation, customer
management and impact on the poor. The case study
findings are used to assess the general risks to main
stakeholders involved in PPPs (the concessionaire, council
and community) and to provide universal lessons on the
conditions under which PPPs in the water and sanitation
sector work best.
