| Summary: | This report, developed for policy makers
and sector development partners, highlights the manner in
which the domestic private sector is successfully
participating in the delivery of water and sanitation
services in Niger. It outlines the factors for success as
well as the challenges that need to be addressed to harness
private sector resources and motivation for improved and
sustainable services.There is a need to further strengthen
the capacities of various rural water supply stakeholders,
particularly communes, which contract and supervise the work
of the operators. The capacities of operators and users’
associations also need to be developed to pursue ensure the
operational sustainability of the systems.The technical
assistance (TA) described in this Note has, over the past
five years, supported the sector’s stakeholders’ efforts to
work in synergy to foster the participation of domestic
private entities in the management of rural water supply
systems (RWSSs).The purpose of the TA hasbeen to ensure
improved operational policy applicationof the PPP frameworks
in the context of water supplyand urban sanitation in rural
and small towns , which hasnot evolved much over time in
relation to urban waterservices. The TA program consisted of
training activities,market assessments, and options
development studiesto inform decision-making and
consensus-building ofdifferent stakeholders on resolving
some challenges facingthese subsectors.Opportunities exist
for the Government to promote the emerging domestic private
operators with a view to raising their level of
professionalism for better service delivery. |
