Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparent, rule-based decisionmaking is important to maintaining public trust in regulated infrastructure. The Buenos Aires water and sanitation concession led to remarkable improvements in delivery and coverage of services and to lower prices for consumers. But a poor information base, lack of transparency in regulatory decisions, and the ad hoc nature of executive branch interventions make it difficult to reassure consumers that their welfare is being protected and that the concession is sustainable.

This study examines the structure and trends of energy demand in China, India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and Thailand. Chapters focus on energy efficiency and conservation in the industrial, transportation, household, and electric power sectors. Quantitative analysis is used to estimate key income, price elasticities, and energy demand for the next 10 to 12 years. The report evaluates possible energy conservation efforts. The authors provide a brief description of those countries' energy reserves, energy trade and production, and energy consumption by sector. They also make frequent reference to the ways in which Japan has succeeded in improving energy conservation in the various sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Public-private partnerships are a tool that is increasingly used by development agencies to improve infrastructure in developing countries. This concept is also employed in piped water provision. The failure of some major projects suggests that there is considerable risk involved when the public and private sectors combine forces. The fact that piped water provision is a natural monopoly and therefore needs extensive regulation makes the cooperation between the public and private sector very difficult. Indeed, weak regulation is the probably the most important risk factor. Other risk factors include political instability, inadequate tariff and contract design, and lack of public support. These risk factors are analyzed using four case studies, two failed ones and two that are considered relatively successful. The analysis aims to find answers to the question whether the initiative of development agencies to heavily promote the concept of public-private partnerships in water and sanitation is justified and appropriate. Einleitung: Public-private partnerships werden im verstärkten Maße von Institutionen für Entwicklungshilfe eingesetzt, um die Infrastruktur in Entwicklungsländern zu verbessern. Dieses Konzept wird unter anderem auch in der Wasserversorgung verwendet. Das Fehlschlagen von einigen wichtigen Projekten weist darauf hin, dass ein gewisses Risiko existiert, wenn der öffentliche Sektor und die Privatwirtschaft zusammen arbeiten. Der Fakt, dass Wasserversorgung ein natürliches Monopol ist und daher besonders starke Regulierung braucht, erschwert die Kooperation zwischen öffentlichen Sektor und Privatwirtschaft. Ungenügende Regulierung ist möglicherweise der wichtigste Risikofaktor. Andere Risikofaktoren sind politische Instabilität, ein schlecht gestaltetes Gebührensystem, ein ungenauer Vertrag und fehlende Unterstützung der Bevölkerung und der Regierung. Diese Faktoren werden mit Hilfe von vier Fallbespielen analysiert, zwei gescheiterten und zwei, die als relativ erfolgreich betrachtet werden. Die Analyse soll helfen Antworten auf die Frage zu finden, ob die verstärkte Förderung des Konzepts public-private partnerships in der Wasserversorgung von Seiten der Entwicklungshilfe gerechtfertigt und angebracht ist.

Download or read book Focusing Partnerships written by Janelle Plummer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the increasing occurrence of policies aimed at mobilising the financial and human resources of the private sector, most urban local governments responsible for urban basic services in the South do not have the capacity to initiate and sustain partnerships. Nor do they understand how they can create partnerships that target the poor. This sourcebook provides practical information and guidance to do so. With extensive illustrative material from Africa, Asia and Latin America, it sets out a strategic framework for building municipal capacity to create pro-poor partnerships. It focuses on implementation rather than policy. It locates private sector participation within the broader urban governance and poverty reduction agenda. And it is above all concerned to supply information on the issues and processes involved in making the public?private partnership (PPP) approach appropriate for service delivery in developing countries. The second in a series of capacity-building sourcebooks, it will be invaluable for those concerned with the capacity of local levels of government: policy-makers, municipal authorities, development agencies and practitioners, and all those involved in urban governance and poverty reduction.

This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water utilities are the main instrument for countries to achieve universal service coverage. In pursuing universal service coverage, water utilities have turned to pro-poor water services to extend water services in low-income areas. This thesis discusses the use of pro-poor water services by water utilities in Kenya, with the intention of highlighting the dimensions of the approach that require attention of policy makers and practitioners when engaging with the concept. Based on the analysis of the technologies, financial and organisational arrangements associated with the pro-poor concept, this thesis shows that the use of pro-poor strategies allows water utilities to reduce the risks of servicing low-income areas while still claiming to fulfil their mandate of providing access to all in a commercially viable manner. The analysis also shows that rather than a decision of the water utility, the choice for pro-poor strategies emerges as the result of a consensus or compromise between the different actors that constitute the broader institutional environment in which water utilities operate. The thesis concludes that while pro-poor water services may serve the interests of water utilities and other stakeholders, in the absence of well-directed subsidies and proper monitoring they will not result in low-income households benefiting from more affordable and reliable access to water.
