Joint UNDP-UNESCAP Initiative:

Capacity Development of Local Governments in Asia in Delivering Basic Services to the Poor through Public-Private Partnerships

UNESCAP Workshop on Knowledge Transfer & Capacity Building for Water & Sanitation Services in Asia & the Pacific 17 19 February 2009, Bangkok, Thailand

Access to Basic Services primary education, health care, water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, renewable energy supply is vital for poverty eradication & the achievement of the MDGs.

Basic services are public goods. As markets fail to provide such services equitably, primary responsibility & accountability for their delivery remains with the State/Public Sector

yet:

Growing need for basic services is not matched by the existing capacity (e.g., human & financial) of traditional service providers

as a result:

Various Non-State Actors (large & small, formal & informal private sector, CBOs, NGOs, SCOs, FBOs) are filling-in the gap in the context of a regulatory vacuum

...consequently

National Governments considering / encouraging formal engagement of NSAs in the provision of basic services through PPP arrangements Sub-national/local governments expected to explore/undertake PPPs in delivery of basic services at the local level

...however

Many LGs lack knowledge, skills & experience to initiate such partnerships Are unaware of/unable to access existing PPP CD opportunities:
too distant, inflexible & unaffordable to the prevailing majority of LGs; language barriers; do not address Pro-Poor dimensions of PPPs; do not address local level PPP projects (which often are smallscale infrastructure/service provision) not relevant to the regional/country contexts/particularities

...solution?
Would having a permanent, regular, affordable, flexible, country-context specific, quality curriculum on PPP & its processes for training of LG officials locally be a practical & effective step towards addressing this issue?

...yes, it will help!
