Turning Water into a Commodity (eBook, ePUB)

Digital Innovation and the Private Sector as Development Agent

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Pay-as-you-go water dispensers are used in many areas in the Global South, particularly those that are 'off-grid'. This book examines the increasing influence of private sector companies and philanthrocapitalist organisations in development cooperation by focusing on the example of water supply to the inhabitants of rural and peri-urban areas of Kenya.

The book shows how private sector approaches open up remote regions to permanent arrangements of transnational market-based water supply beyond state sovereignty, which define the poor as paying customers and sideline local approaches and actors.
