UNICEF – ADB Regional Workshop on the Role of Non-State Providers in Basic Service Delivery ADB HQ, Manila, Philippines 19-20 April 2010 Non-State Delivery of Water and Sanitation Services SUMMARY and RESULTS
Engaging NSPs (WASH) • NSPs have specialist capacity and flexibility to operate in different conditions and offer services. • NSPs can help stimulate demand, and respond to changes in demand. • Government cannot do it alone: Gov’t can enhance its roles as enabler while NSPs can fill the gap in financing and/or service delivery. • Innovation is often driven by NSPs. • Cost sharing options can stimulate household demand and financing, and leverage funding from government and other sources.
Key Issues (NSPs/WASH) • Lack of recognition or inclusion • Affordability • Service quality • Pro-poor services • Financing • Policy • Regulation • Public awareness • Administrative and legal barriers • Technical and physical barriers • Vested interests (opposition to change, political intervention, corruption) • Uncertainty and risk
