Abstract

This short paper reviews trends in private-sector participation in water infrastructure in the past 20 years and identifies the key governance lessons learnt from policy dialogues in selected countries, particularly based on the OECD Checklist for Public Action (OECD, 2009a) and the OECD Multilevel Governance Framework (OECD, 2011a). It highlights the contribution of better multi-level governance to creating the conditions for success of private-sector participation. It concludes that addressing the gaps generated by the institutional fragmentation in the water sector requires putting in place coordination and capacity-building mechanisms, regardless of the ownership of water operators.
