What is WaterAids position on the privatisation of water companies in the developing world?
WaterAid strongly believes that privatisation should not be imposed upon poor countries through aid conditions, trade rules or conditions for debt cancellation. Instead, national and local governments must manage and regulate water and sanitation services and ensure the accountability of the public, community or private organisations delivering them. WaterAid believes there is not one single solution to ensuring everyone gains access to water and sanitation, so it is impossible to say in general terms whether it is a good idea for private, public or community organisations to be involved in the delivery and management of services. Each set of circumstances should be looked at individually and a suitable pro-poor, affordable and sustainable solution found to fit each community.
