Regional Report

The idea underpinning this Regional Report was to impart a regional perspective to the systematic work done in the four focus countries and to put together findings from the respective technical documents in one report to help stakeholders from the countries and the region become aware of similarities as well as peculiarities belonging to the individual countries. Considering the above, the Regional Report first reviews briefly the nexus of governance and sustainable financing for the water sector, with emphasis on private sector participation, then reflects on the findings of the national and regional dialogues of the Project, highlighting core cases from the focus countries and concludes with reflections on the way forward.
