Private Sector & Development #42 - Access to water and sanitation: the private sector at the source

Proparco is publishing the 42nd edition of its Private Sector & Development magazine, dedicated to the role of private sector in the access to water and sanitation. This is a major issue at a time when more than 2.2 billion people worldwide still do not have access to safe drinking water in their homes and 3.5 billion people lack adequate sanitation.

This issue of Private Sector & Development uses numerous examples, analyses and feedback to illustrate the wide range of projects and arrangements currently in progress. It demonstrates the conditions and approaches that can enable private companies – especially operators – to play a part in improving access to water and sanitation, with a view to ensuring service quality and sustainability.
