Behind the Scene

Over 84 million urban dwellers in Asia and
the Pacific are officially recognized as
presently being without improved water
supply and 255 million are without
improved sanitation (WHO/ UNICEF, 2000).

The situation is exacerbated by average
urban growth rates of 3.7 per cent
(POPIN,2001).
Objective of the Case Studies

To understand how the urban poor are presently
being served and whether and how any of the
new public private partnerships are achieving
the necessary breakthrough in service
effectiveness, efficiency and equity in away that
has an impact on poverty alleviation.

To focus on P3s in Water supply, Sanitation
system and Solid Waste Collection in those
Cities.

Types & Cities
P3:Before and Now
Bangladesh-Dhaka

The users of water points have expressed satisfaction,
reporting that they are now spending between 5 to 15
minutes (including return travel time) to collect water.

Previously, women and children had to spend between 1
to 2 hours every day to collect water from illegal water
points, nearby buildings and public standpipes.

Water quality is improved and we no longer have to boil
the water and can consume more.
P3 Results: ( Cont’d)

Pakistan

In contrast, in Karachi, Pakistan, the community
sanitation system had not delivered the required
benefits.
India

BOTs in solid waste management in India were found to
have delivered benefits to municipalities from increased
efficiencies and effectiveness in waste recycling and
disposal.
P3 Coverage by Country Economic
Status
Drivers for Success in PPP- What ?

However, recognizing that not all international

PPPs are immediate successes and that many
are threatened by contractual disputes, it is
necessary to recognize that even now only a
very small percentage of low and middle-income
urban populations are served by PPPs.
