- This important book suggests a strategy to overcome problems in the delivery of essential services in developing countries????micro-privatization.??? The quality, efficiency and outreach of the services are considerably improved and the costs significantly reduced. Malcolm Harper presents 24 real life case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America, and also from the USA and Europe, which amply demonstrate that micro-privatization is practical anywhere. The analysis accompanying the case studies identifies the problems encountered and the solutions adopted. Providing a fresh and comparative perspective on alternative strategies to improve the delivery of all types of public services, this book will attract a wide readership among NGO??'s and international development agencies and those in the fields of rural development, urban management, public administration, community development and enterprise management.
