| Summary: | The main purpose of this paper is to
argue that the optimal design of regulation of water and
sanitation monopolies should be the outcome of a detailed
diagnostic of the institutional constraints impacting the
ability of the operator -- whether public or private -- to
deliver the services. Tailoring the regulatory processes and
instruments to account for institutional and informational
weaknesses stands a better chance of improving the
performance of the sector than the adoption of imported
standardized or pre-packaged regulatory tools. |
