PPIAF Support to Private Sector Participation in the Water Sector in Malawi

In 2000 PPIAF supported a study to determine options for involving the private sector in water supply services in Malawi. The study concluded that sectoral reform and private sector participation target commercial improvements and management contract options rather than a concession. Several workshops were held to build consensus and provide capacity building. PPIAF support was requested in 2006 to finalize the reform program and develop a communications strategy.
