| Abstract | After cataloguing the main water privatizations in Africa, this paper reviews case study experiences from Guinea, Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It examines the reasons for privatization, the institutional set up, results and problems encountered. The paper concludes that privatization has mainly benefited the private companies through improved revenue collection while the poor are most likely to lose out through high prices and disconnections. |
