City partnership for urban sanitation service delivery

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the UK Department for International Development (DfID) have initiated a partnership to focus on solutions for the sustainable provision of sanitation to the urban poor. We are jointly seeking proposals to test how cities can use binding service-level agreements and performance-based contracts with private sector partners as way to ensure the city-scale delivery of sustainable sanitation services that are equitable and provide both private (user) and public (health/environment) benefits. They expect to invest in cities where there is a clear mandate to provide urban sanitation services to all (not necessarily for free) and where engagement with the private sector is not actively precluded, with a preference for cities where private public partnership is encouraged.
