Smart-cities would like to promote the public-private partnerships in order to improve the financing structures of development work that would ultimately improve the livelihood of the people. PPP Info Point highlights pertinent information on successful cases on environmental management, and a variety of potential partnerships between public and private actors for the cooperative provision of infrastructure services. This page will be extremely useful for urban stakeholders looking for the most people-friendly and cost-effective solutions to challenging urban issues.

Sector: Water & Sanitation
Location: New Delhi, INDIA
Partnership type: Private Small Scale Provision
Objective: Provision, operation and maintenance of low-cost sanitation systems.
Description: Sulabh International - an NGO - is involved in the construction, operation and maintenance of low cost sanitation systems. At the end of 1990, Sulabh had 68 complexes in operation in New Delhi and another 61 in the final phases of construction in the city. During its 20-year history, Sulabh has built 660,000 private latrines and about 2500 public latrine complexes in 584 towns in 18 states of India. In New Delhi, the 68 complexes cater for about 290,000 people daily in 1990.
Operational Arrangements: Sulabh operates as an NGO which, with assistance from the government and the community, constructs, operates and maintains low cost sanitation facilities. It is now beginning to explore operations on an international scale through local partnerships.
Novel Features: One of its major successes is in the operation of public latrines. This has typically proved a failure in India as in many other countries even when operated by local community groups.

Ho Chi Minh and Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR) Community Based Water System Improvement

Sector: Water & Sanitation
Location: Ho Chi Minh, VIET NAM
Partnership type: Private Small Scale Provision
Objective: To put in place a more effective water distribution system.
Description: The project involved the installation of 8 standpipes in the neighborhood (Hiep Thanh, a poor shantytown area) to supply water from the mains.
Funds Funds provided by the Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR) and the city's Land and Housing Department.
Operational Arrangements: Management and maintenance of the standpipes carried out by members of the community.

Novel Features: The cost of obtaining water from this new system was less than the costs being incurred by community members in obtaining water from other sources previously used.
Lessons Learned The success of this project encouraged the local people to tackle other problems in the neighbourhood, such as solid waste collection. Hence, this experience developed the capacity of the community to tackle its problems communally.

 

Solid Waste Management Project in the Ahmedabad Municipality, Gujarat, India

Sector: Solid Waste Management
Location: Ahmedabad, INDIA
Partnership type: BOT Contract
Objective: To improve solid waste management capacity within the municipality.
Description: Project involved the construction of a solid waste treatment plant for 600 tpd producing compost. This plant is being constructed on a BOT basis by Excel industries. The project is similar to the other projects undertaken by Excel Industries.

 

Solid waste and disposal project for Mumbai municipality, Maharashtra, India

Sector: Solid Waste Management
Location: Mumbai, INDIA
Partnership type: BOT Contract
Objective: Involved the construction of a 600 tonne per day (tpd) solid waste treatment and disposal plant for producing compost by Excel Industries.
Operational Arrangements: According to Excel Industries estimates, a 500 tonne per day composting plant requires a capital investment of Rs. 60 million, or US$1.7 million at January 1996 price level, excluding the cost of land. This estimate includes a 5 percent turnkey know-how fee and commissioning charges and about 8 to 10 percent for working capital. The overall production cost of the compost is about Rs. 1,200 to 1,400 per tonne (approximately US$24-US$28/tonne). The selling price ranges between Rs. 1,600 to 2,000 per tonne (US$32-US$40/tonne) of compost subject to transportation distances and other local overheads. Excel is expected to produce about 45,000 tonnes of soil enricher from the garbage in a year and was given 25 acres of land at Deonar (a locality in Bombay) by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Excel will pay the Mumbai (formerly Bombay) Municipal Council (MMC) (formerly BMC) a one per cent royalty on net sales of the resulting bio-organic soil enricher, Celrich, that will be marketed by the Mumbai-based company.
Novel Features: Celrich technology is named after a micro-organism called Celrich which converts degradable solid waste into organic fertilizer within four-to-six weeks. Also used are the compounds called odour-off that makes the solid waste odourless.
Lessons Learned The success of this project has provided a model for other cities across India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Philippines.

Environmental Services in Lalitpur, Nepal

Sector: Local Economic Development
Location: Lalitpur, NEPAL
Partnership type: Other
Objective: Nepal is confronting enormous challenges to improve the health and quality of life of its inhabitants during the final decade of this century. More and more, the government has looked upon privatization with three main objectives: reduce the financial burden on government; enhance operational efficiency, resulting in higher productivity and growth; and encourage private sector growth and public participation in industrial undertakings.
Description: The previous Nepali Congress Government embarked on an ambitious privatization programme. The first stage has been completed successfully with the privatization of 3 manufacturing enterprises. The idea of privatizing the urban infrastructure and services sector was introduced by the tourism industry and the Federation of Nepal Chamber of Commerce and Industry. As a part of liberalization policy, the previous government made a commitment towards a comprehensive privatization programme in 1991 after it assumed power.
Notes: Contact in Lalitpur Municipality: Mr. Chiri Babu Maharjan, City Councilor
