Services d'eau et secteur privé dans les pays en développement - Perceptions croisées et dynamique des réflexions
Abstract:Private sector participation in the field of water and sanitation services has been the subject of a great range of analytical work, covering disciplinary fields — economics, geography, political science, history, sociology, etc. — as well as studies in terms of space and scale, such as rural vs. urban studies, urban monographs, regional analyses, or worldwide dynamics.These investigations by a wide range of international researchers and experts mostly covered the period 1990-2000, when structural adjustment reforms opened the way to major delegation contracts in the southern cities.
This collective work straddles the boundary between academic research and strategic reflection by the stakeholders in this sector. Its aim is to define the gateways between these various works, which span the entire range from historical overviews of the first urban networks to the identification of innovating forms of post-Washington Consensus participation in the sector.
This book, which summarizes five years of research at AFD on public-private partnerships, questions the relevance of the delegation models. It also demonstrates the evolution in how the stakeholders in development — donors, researchers, experts — perceive the role of the private sector for providing drinking water and sanitation in developing countries.
