SSWSPs bring water to rural and urban population unserved by water utilities, playing a vital role in meeting water and sanitation needs. Often, however, SSWSPs’ operations and expansion have been limited; their participation in water and sanitation provision curtailed by the lack of institutional or legal framework and access to financing.
In the Philippines, SSWSPs are increasingly being recognized by national water agencies and financing institutions. Such recognition may open up financing windows for SSWSPs with rural and commercial banks. This PDA will provide financial models more responsive to SSWSPs needs.
