Abstract
In Vietnam the water supply issue is
complicated: given the history of a strongly centralized
economy, would the private sector be willing or able to
respond to new opportunities in water infrastructure. Pilot
projects testing a new approach in two Vietnamese towns
provide encouragement: allowing communities a voice in
determining how water will be delivered and at what cost can
lead to viable and politically acceptable solutions. And
the local private sector is responding to the new opportunities.
