| description |
This policy note summarizes the results
of a Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) and a
consultative decision making process carried out over a
two-year period (2005-2007). Chapter two presents the
country and reform context by providing background
information on the role of mining in Mauritania's
economy and explaining the current situation in the
Nouadhibou-Zouerat economic corridor with regard to water
and electricity services. This section indicates the need
for reform by reviewing the reform context from a legal,
economic, institutional, technical, and consumer
perspective. Chapter three introduces previous reform
proposals and discusses the economic viability of the most
plausible reform option. Chapter four outlines the potential
social and poverty impacts of utility service reform by
presenting survey results on consumers' ability and
willingness to pay, showing which social groups are at risk
of being negatively affected by reform and exploring policy
responses to the identified risks. It also weighs the risks
associated with reform against its benefits and provides
policy recommendations. Issues associated with the political
economy of reform implementation are discussed in chapter
five, which concludes by making specific recommendations for
the implementation of the necessary reform measures (chapter six). |
