| Résumé : |
This document discusses three main themes: how privatisation has been promoted by international financial institutions and other donors as a strategy for financing water services; the effects on the poor of different kinds of privatisation of water services in developing countries; and policy recommendations for the provision of water to the poor.
The report shows that the World Bank acknowledges the difficulties with privatisation, but remains wedded to its belief in the underlying rationale of private participation and continues to find new ways to encourage private investment. Case studies from Africa, Latin America and Asia, show that privatisation involving multinationals often leads to higher prices for the poor, disconnections and in some cases cancellation of contracts, leaving water infrastructure in a worse state than before. The reality on the ground contradicts the continued enthusiasm of international institutions and donors for privatisation as a solution to global water needs. Alternative forms of water management and provision, for example, local cooperatives and small-scale community-controlled initiatives, provide examples of different, more viable solutions. |

| Résumé : |
A PSIRU report for War on Want. This report looks at how conditionalities and pressures from aid agencies and development banks force developing countries to adopt privatisation policies in public services. It focuses specifically on the sectors of water, electricity, and healthcare, in six countries: Colombia; El Salvador; Indonesia; Mozambique; South Africa; and Sri Lanka. It examines the impact of the requirements and policies of the International Monetary Fund IMF), World Bank (WB), and other agencies including regional development banks, the European Commission (EC) and donor countries. It includes a specific examination of the various ways in which the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID)supports privatisation in these services.
It concludes that the pressures for privatisation have been strengthened through new structures of ‘globalised aid’; that they create serious limitations on independent decision-making by developing countries, and generate some strong political responses; and that policies of development banks and donor agencies, including DFID, should be reviewed to remove such
pressures and ensure that policy-making in developing countries is determined by local democratic processes. |

| Résumé : |
State provision of public services and government management of the economy have been under relentless assault since the early 1980's. Brendan Martin charts this global phenomenon and its effects on those working in the public sector and on people dependent on state provision. Privatization and structural adjustment are not delivering better public services in the North or the South. What is needed, the author argues, is a new approach that transcends the outdated dichotomy of private versus public. Essential reading for all those wishing to think about new ways of delivering services the public wants in a manner that strikes aa balance between financial efficiency and democratic responsiveness, equity and effectiveness. |
