Need for Cultural Change?
Sustainability, equity and democratic Sustainability, equity and democratic
governance in water managementgovernance in water management requires far-
reaching changes in our
•scales of values,
•conception of nature,
•ethical principles, and in our
•lifestyles
Different functions and values
In order to prioritise the rights:
•Water for life /universal human right/
•Water for general interest purposes.
•Water for economic growth.
Water investments
Investing in water (and sanitation) is a good
bet, whether one is talking about large-scale
infrastructure or small local developments.
Investments at all levels can generate rapid
returns that make them competitive when
compared to the direct economic effects of
investments in other sectors.
Environment
A key challenge is to create a policy and regulatory
environment that supports the scaling up of
positive examples of pro-poor water management
and policy development, in particular creating the
incentives to generate investments, from communities
and capital markets, that are essential to supplement
government and donor resources. This includes an
awareness amongst policy makers of all costs and
benefits and values that water investments
generate.
Role of International Organisations
International efforts should be centred on
supporting the public sector to achieve the
•MDGs,
•demanding democratization,
•respect for human rights,
•transparency, and fighting corruption.
Key Message
A key part of the message is that the
targeting of investments to the specific
circumstances and opportunities of the
poor can greatly enhance the efficiency of
investments and effectiveness in terms of
poverty impacts.
Common Aims1- Essential water services must be granted the status of general public interest to guarantee the priority of human and social citizenship rights over market interests;
2- Current debates on the liberalisation of water services must be subject to broad based public debate, with substantive participation of citizens, NGOs, workers’ unions, user organizations, and other relevant actors in the decision making and monitoring process;
3- The achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will require that governments and international institutions take urgent decisive action to meet the financial cost involved, as a matter of public duty;
4- Public and private operators alike must be subject to strict regulation by representative public bodies to ensure transparency and citizen participation;
5- International financial institutions and the development agencies of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries should no longer condition the financing of investments by liberalization and privatization.
Their efforts should be centred on supporting the public sector to achieve the MDGs, demanding democratization, respect for human rights, transparency, and fighting corruption.
