This results in under-investment, undefined ownership, poor participation, weak regulation, and conflicting priorities. Government should clearly articulate and disseminate policies, regulations and programs. Role of stakeholders should be clearly defined. Broad consultation in policy review should be promoted. Promote institutional reform based on clear roles for key stakeholders where communities own their facilities, the private sector provides goods and services, and government facilitates the process.
Community owns, manages, and helps finance services.
Government at all levels facilitates the process by encouraging stakeholder participation, setting policies and standards, and financing facilities. Private sector and NGOs provide goods, services and financing. External support agencies provide financing, technical assistance, and policy coordination. Civil society provides policy and implementation support. Ensure appropriate legal framework for ownership and management.
