The 60 participants agreed on the following:

Preamble

“The overarching goal of a multistakeholder review is to contribute to making progress towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for water supply and sanitation, prioritising the need to achieve for the poor the human right of affordable and sustainable access to water and sanitation, and to attain the long-term goals of universal access and poverty eradication.

Scope of the Review

The scope of the review is the broad landscape of water supply and sanitation (WSS) for the poor, which includes public, private and community providers. The landscape includes government having responsibility for ensuring provision of WSS.

The primary focus of the review is on whether and how the private sector, from small-scale independent providers (SSIPs) through to large private companies, can contribute to the achievement of the goals set out in the preamble. This includes looking at the roles, responsibilities, risks, rewards and results of all players involved in the PSP process.

The review will be action-oriented and will generate information and assessment to enhance decision making on water supply and sanitation options, with a specific focus on the poor. Lessons for public sector improvements may also flow from the review.”
