Innovative Water Finance in Africa : Economics and Principles of Financial Innovations for Water Managers, Hardback Book

Innovative Water Finance in Africa : Economics and Principles of Financial Innovations for Water Managers Hardback

Edited by Cush Ngonzo Luwesi, Atakilte Beyene

Hardback

Description

Water has become increasingly central to addressing multiple development and environmental objectives in the course of climate change.

Exploring the multiple dimensions of water governance, policy and management in a holistic way is thus imperative for financial innovations to take place in the water sector.

This book constitutes, first of all, a reference document allowing African managers and policymakers to broaden their knowledge of financing strategies and tactics in order to raise funds for water services provision and water resources development.

Additionally, the book reviews the agenda on water and sanitation services in order to ensure water resources development has a place in funding structures. The book presents and discusses contemporary instruments of financing water services and water resources development in Africa.

In this regard, three major thematic areas are recognized as key:  Coverage of the legal and institutional contexts pertaining to water financing innovations; an assessment of economic mechanisms and principles subtending financial innovations in the water sector; and applications of innovative water financing mechanisms based on scale formation and adoption practices.

This book highlights the principles of economic profitability and financial sustainability to enable creditworthiness and a snowball effect of borrowing, and will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, and academics, as well as development agencies and financiers of sustainable development and environmental (Blue and Green) economies.
