This Regional Technical Assistance has aimed to develop sector
specific best practices for promoting private sector
participation in key infrastructure sectors in the ADB
developing member countries– Michael Porter was contracted for
his expertise in the water supply sector. The strategic
objectives were to increase the share of private sector
investment in infrastructure in DMCs and demonopolize
infrastructure sectors to promote competition in the supply of
services. “Best practices” were developed covering: sector
policy issues related to pricing and competition; conducive
legal and regulatory frameworks; the unbundling, mitigating and
management of risks; and mechanisms to reduce transaction costs.
A Workshop,
attended by key policy makers, project developers and financiers
was held in December 1998 to disseminate and review the findings
across a large number of DMCs. The final output will be in the
form of five published volumes, documenting the proposed policy,
legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks and risk sharing
arrangements for promoting private sector participation.
