  21. USAID-JBIC Water Collaboration (8) Why are we aiming at cofinancing with USAID For WRF? • The significance: frontier of sustainable water financing, • mobilizing private funds for water infrastructure • in developing countries. • ODA funds cannot meet the vast needs for water infrastructure. Private funds less able to shape regulatory/policy environment. Need both. • Complement strengths of each institution – USAID: extensive knowledge of WRF based upon US State Funds. JBIC: long time experience and knowledge of water sector • in PH. • Key: how to strike balance between private-led financing VS sovereign hook.
