More than one billion people lack a safe water supply, while some two and a half billion have no access to sanitation. To remedy this situation some actors have promoted the involvement of the private sector in service delivery. Others have opposed this, maintaining that public service delivery is preferable and no profit should be made from water services. The conflict is having a significant negative impact on progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.
Past attempts to resolve the clashes between opposing groups have focused mainly on conducting research to generate evidence about specific areas of disagreement. But, since neither side trusts the “evidence” produced by the other, this research has done little to ease tensions or change perceptions. |
