Governance in water supply
This paper reviews the institutional framework that governs the supply of water services, with a specific focus on developing countries. It first highlights the main mismatches that plague the water sector, namely those between the nature of resources, functions, jurisdiction and objectives of the different agents involved. It then goes on to address three main issues: the public vs. private provision debate, the design of the regulatory framework, and affordability and the design of subsidies, and concludes by drawing some policy implications and recommendations for case studies.
