WSS Working Notes No.11: Taking Account of the Poor in Water Sector Regulation

Sophie Trémolet

Regulatory frameworks can have a decisive influence on making water and sanitation services more accessible to the poor and on giving service providers the right incentives to serve them. In some cases, however, existing regulatory frameworks may introduce obstacles to serving the poor rather than provide an environment conducive to extending service. This note seeks to provide practical guidance on how regulatory frameworks can be designed and implemented in a way that is more

conducive to expanding access and improving service to poor customers.
