Conclusions
• It is very clear that the understanding the Political and socioeconomic dimensions context is the main driver to establish new water utility , this understanding only can be achieved by conducting a good baseline survey and collection of reliable data, additional to that the public participation and the creation of public ownership are key factors
Recommendations
• Reliable socioeconomic data is a must • The importance of the harmonized vision among
different stakeholders ( consencus building ) • Doing all necessary legal reform and modification • Protection of Consumers rights is a must • Regular monitoring the performance indicators • Institutionalizing stakeholders dialogue
