Overview

Increasing access to basic services is one of the current challenges of the global development agenda. The case studies in this book were commissioned by the Commonwealth Foundation to expand on the debate on essential service delivery and inform policy and practice with examples from experience. They capture learning from water and electricity service provision experiences in Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana , Guyana, India, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago and Uganda. An overview chapter situates these experiences in the broader context of contemporary debates and issues in essential service provision. The experiences in this book examine various modes of providing basic infrastructure services, including privatisation, public sector - community partnership and NGO-led service provision. Its scope makes it suitable for policy and decision-makers as well as for development practitioners involved in essential service delivery or engaged in research on related issues.
