| Summary: | Providing sustainable water supply and
sanitation (WSS) services in developing countries remains an
immense, and increasingly urgent, challenge. Chapter two
sets out how the sector is currently funded and why business
as usual is insufficient for meeting WSS-related goals,
covering the size of the investment gap, and the challenges
presented by the status quo. Chapter three proposes a
financing framework toward more effective use of existing
funds to enable the mobilization of new sources of finance,
and explains the benefits and costs of commercial finance.
Chapters four to six detail the three components of the
financing framework, providing practical advice and global
experiences that demonstrate how countries can begin to make
progress. Chapter seven summarizes how stakeholders can
bring the three components together to mobilize commercial
finance, and provides the main conclusions and
recommendations of the report. |
