| Summary: | After decades of war and social
disruption in Cambodia, publicly run water, and sanitation
services are scarce, and limited mainly to urban areas.
While private providers offer relatively good service, their
high one-time connection charges put that service out of
reach for all, but the more affluent. The Government of
Cambodia is piloting an output-based approach in four towns,
where the private operator will be paid on the basis of
performance - in large part, only after it has made a
connection to a customer. Where connections are made to poor
households deemed unable to pay, the operator will receive
an International Development Association - IDA-funded subsidy. |
