| description |
In 1989, the Government of Guinea
entered into a lease arrangement for private sector
operation of water services in the capital city, Conakry,
and sixteen other towns. The lease has been broadly
successful --in the first five years, it led to a big
increase in the population with access to safe water. But,
because the risk sharing between the parties to the lease
has proved difficult to implement and enforce, improvements
have been smaller than hoped for. The author reviews the
lease's performance, drawing lessons for water projects
in other countries. |
