非洲城市中预付费用水的局限性和可能性：从现场总结的经验
作者Chris Heymans、Kathy Eales与 Richard Franceys，水资源与环境卫生项目（WSP），世界银行集团，2014年8月。
非洲的城镇以每年平均5%的速度增加——比世界上任何地方都快。水务服务供应商面临的挑战是如何满足这种不断增加的需求，以及缺少满足这种需求的资源。在满足需求的过程中，尤其是在快速扩张的服务不到位的贫困地区，需要使用新的方法和创新。这是造成撒哈拉以南非洲地区水资源服务供应商对预付费用水系统的兴趣大增的原因之一。本研究分析了8个使用预付费水表系统的城市的经验。

本介绍的目的是帮助水务公共设施的从业者以及有组织的用户、管理者和决策者来提高水务服务的质量，其方法就是让服务供应商对其服务的用户更加负责。传统上看，用户依赖于政治家来保持对预算和监督和对规则的遵守，并在服务出现问题的时候代表用户进行干预。这让从用户到政治代表到服务供应商的“冗长”责任制成为了惯例。现代的公共管理更多的是让服务供应商直接地就其工作成果向用户负责。人们期望供应商保证供水的安全性和可靠性、被堵住的下水管道能够及时疏通且所有人都能获得服务且能够负担得起。在这一背景下的责任性是用户和服务供应商之间的一种直接的“短”关系。本介绍的目的是填补知识和实践之间的空隙。通过国别研究和个人采访来补充现有的文献，为那些想要通过设计和使用各种工具来提高公共事业业绩的管理者提供了说明、分析、实践指导和其他信息资源。

The Procurement Framework
The World Bank's Procurement Framework governs projects financed by Investment Project Financing (IPF). The Framework was launched in July 2016. It supports Borrower’s achieve value-for-money with integrity in delivering sustainable development. The Framework promotes flexibility in tailoring procurement approaches that are fit-for-purpose and reflect choice, quality, and value for money in public spending.

Significant increases in investment and improvements in management capacity are required to meet the demand for infrastructure services in the rapidly growing cities of low- and middle-income countries. Closing the infrastructure financing gap requires both public and private finance. Sudan has long experienced under-investment in potable water infrastructure, and access to clean drinking water in fast-growing Khartoum is inadequate.
When the prolonged civil war in Mozambique ended in 1992, water supply infrastructure had deteriorated. In 1998, the Government adopted a comprehensive institutional reform for the development, delivery and regulation of urban water supply services in large cities. The new framework, known as the Delegated Management Framework (DMF), was inaugurated with the creation of two autonomous public bodies: an asset management agency (FIPAG) and an independent regulator (CRA).
