| Abstract | This report shows how community participation and engagement with low-income communities is in the commercial interests of private companies involved in urban water systems in developing countries and countries in transition. Based on case studies from the water and related sectors, it discusses the implications of involving the poor in planning, construction, and operation and maintenance. It also looks into the role of business ethics (corporate social responsibility) and the broader policy and development issues related to community participation. |
