    Nathaniel Mason
    There is an increasing desire among policy and programming communities for service delivery in fragile and conflict affected states and situations to yield peace-building and state-building benefits. This paper maps the theoretical relationships and assesses the state of the evidence, which is found to be patchy for service delivery in general, and more so for WASH services.

    The private sector’s contribution to water management: re-examining corporate purposes and company roles

    Publication - Journal articles or issues - 9 October 2012
    Water Alternatives Volume 5, Issue 3, Pages 603-618
    Peter Newborne and Nathaniel Mason
    Corporate water policies are evolving and practices developing, raising issues of what are appropriate private-sector roles in water management. Leaders of multinational companies have pledged to increase water use efficiencies in company plants/premises and down supply chains, while promoting partnerships in water management with a range of actors, public and private, including local communities. A set of questions is, here, posed for consideration by governments and communities, on the extent, limits and implications of private-sector involvement, particularly in contexts of water scarcity.
