Honduras: Promosas Water

In 2007, the World Bank committed to provide financing to support the modernization of the water sector in Honduras and promote decentralization of water services, through a project called PROMOSAS. The Tegucigalpa Performance Based Contract—to address non-revenue water—was created under this project to help the city’s water public utility to manage twin problems of a deficient water network and severe water deficit. Not only did the World Bank provide funding assistance it also assisted the city in project structuring and executing the tender process.

Contract farming and public–private partnerships in aquaculture: Lessons learned from East African countries

Securing decent work for young people in Africa is critical given the large numbers of young people entering the labour force each year (about 11  million). With few opportunities for formal employment in manufacturing and services, agribusinesses offer young people the opportunity to earn income in rural areas. If others emulate them, there is the potential for positive regional spillovers. One institutional innovation that enables young people to mitigate financial and knowledge handicaps is contract farming.

Bringing PPP initiatives into the waste sector has the potential to introduce significant efficiency gains, but requires creative thinking to safeguard the desired outcomes. These examples show how mid-course corrections are critical to an iterative learning process.
