PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION IN URBAN SERVICES: DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN INDIA
This paper contrasts various mechanisms for involving the private sector that have been tried in two urban areas in India – Navi Mumbai near Mumbai in Maharashtra and Vishakhapattanam in Andhra Pradesh. The approaches vary in size from a waste collection contractor that employs nearly 400 staff to the 78 small enterprises that sweep the streets of one city. Conventional companies, NGOs, CBOs and municipalities are all involved in these arrangements. These experiences clearly show the huge potential for job creation and the quality of service that can be provided when all stakeholders play their part. Municipalities have key roles in providing equipment and land, and in introducing at monitoring the private sector service providers.
