In the water sector in recent years in West Africa, a hybid affermage/ concession arrangement has been adopted - a description of such an arrangement in Cote d'Ivoire can be found at PPIAF Gridlines - Partnering for Water in the Cote d'Ivoire(lessons from 50 years of successful operation). Examples of the hybrid model that has been adopted are set out below.
It is envisaged by the ministry that it would be used alongside an operation contract that the AUE would enter into with a private service provider to delegate functions to the provider rather than the AUE carrying out all of these functions itself.
There is no need to have any specific obligations in this contract regarding increases in connections as the provider takes the net revenues and so is incentivized naturally to increase connections. The provider is responsible for repair and maintenance but not major renewal and replacement and extension (which will be funded out of the rehabilitation fund that comes out of the licence fee). The provider implements/ oversees any major renewal or extension of the water facility and pump, as per the annual capital investment plan. While this contract is developed in a civil law context usi
The affermage contracts entrusts CDE with the production and distribution of drinking water in urban and suburban areas. The affermage is for a term of 10 years commencing in May 2008 and covers 106 urban and peri-urban centers.
