本书介绍了并分析了有关发展中国家在城市水务事业中开展公私合作的情况。它回顾了过去15年的城市水务事业的公私合作的总体发展,力图答复是否和如何帮助改善服务及为有关人口扩大服务接入的问题。本研究以结构化的框架分析了超过65个至少已经运营了5年(如果采用合同管理,则为3年)的大型水务公私合作项目的绩效数据,这是一个代表总计大约1亿人口的范例。从服务人口的规模上说,这个范例代表2003年以前被授予、并已经至少运营3年的水务公私合作项目中的80%。分析聚焦于净改善和对有关人口的实际影响。第二章总结了发展中国家水务公私合作项目的历史发展情况,综述了当前的市场现状、项目合同解除的比率以及产业的演化。第三章讨论了公私合作项目在接入、服务质量、运营效率和水价方面的绩效。第四章对如何在发展中国家改进水务事业服务、开展更高效和更加可持续的水务公私合作进行了经验总结。
