The UNICEF-ADB Regional Workshop held in Manila on April 19-20, 2010, focused on the critical role of Non-State Providers (NSPs) in delivering essential water and sanitation services. The workshop highlighted how NSPs possess unique capabilities to adapt and respond to community needs, stimulating demand and enhancing service delivery. Key discussions centered on issues like financing, service quality, public awareness, and the barriers faced by NSPs. Government collaboration with NSPs is essential for effective service delivery, innovation, and reaching underserved populations.

UNICEF – ADB Regional Workshop on the Role of Non-State Providers in Basic Service Delivery ADB HQ, Manila, Philippines 19-20 April 2010 Non-State Delivery of Water and Sanitation Services SUMMARY and RESULTS
Engaging NSPs (WASH) • NSPs have specialist capacity and flexibility to operate in different conditions and offer services. • NSPs can help stimulate demand, and respond to changes in demand. • Government cannot do it alone: Gov’t can enhance its roles as enabler while NSPs can fill the gap in financing and/or service delivery. • Innovation is often driven by NSPs. • Cost sharing options can stimulate household demand and financing, and leverage funding from government and other sources.
Key Issues (NSPs/WASH) • Lack of recognition or inclusion • Affordability • Service quality • Pro-poor services • Financing • Policy • Regulation • Public awareness • Administrative and legal barriers • Technical and physical barriers • Vested interests (opposition to change, political intervention, corruption) • Uncertainty and risk
