This working paper reviews the first
decade (2001-11) of Uganda's pioneering private sector
participation (PSP) model for small town water supply. The
number of towns under the PSP model has steadily risen from
only 15 in 2001-02 to over 90 in 2010-11 with a combined
population of over 1.5 million. In evaluating the impact of
this development, this working paper aims to guide further
reform within Uganda, and to inform other countries
considering similar PSP approaches. The core idea behind PSP
centered reform in Uganda was to improve sustainability and
efficiency of piped networks in small towns by hiring
private operators (POs) for their commercial management.
Driven by a profit motive, POs were expected to maximize
revenue, minimize waste and maintain and expand networks in
a sustainable manner. To guard social objectives,
infrastructure remained under government ownership and the
introduction of POs was accompanied by a complex regulation,
as well as support, framework. |
