This publication describes how public-public partnerships in the water sector can be a valid method to improve efficiency, accountability and service quality. Most of the water utilities worldwide are public – i.e., also most of the skills and knowledge is public. Utilities can thus complement lacking competences of one another and thus improve service quality.
