| description |
Political interference and low tariff
policies have led to inefficiency and chronic financial
weakness of public utilities. The inability of water supply
and sanitation (WSS) utilities to maintain and extend
services has led typically to situations where in fact
subsidized services are denied to the poor who have to rely
on more costly and lower quality alternatives. A
well-performing utility is a necessary condition for
enhancing the economic efficiency of cities and for
accelerating the provision of services to low-income areas.
However, water utilities in Africa have limited prospects
for improving their performance unless they undergo
structural reform. Service delivery is not keeping pace with
demand, especially for the fast growing number of low-income
households living in informal settlements. |
