The results of an independent evaluation of 60 case studies of water and sanitation infrastructure projects in India, Mexico, and South Africa, most of them implemented since 2000, demonstrate an ongoing problem of failing infrastructure even in economically advanced developing countries. This paper presents a meta-analysis of those project case study results and analyses whether the design of existing policies or other factors contribute to failures. It concludes that the observed failures are due to well-known reasons and recommends how the implementation of the Dublin-Rio Principles can be improved. (They were introduced twenty years ago to avoid such failures by means of more sustainable planning.).
对印度、墨西哥和南非的 60 个水和卫生基础设施项目案例的独立评估结果表明,即使在经济发达的发展中国家,基础设施也存在持续不断的问题。本文对这些项目案例研究结果进行了元分析,并分析了现有政策设计或其他因素是否导致了失败。结论认为,观察到的失败是由于众所周知的原因,并就如何改进都柏林-里约原则的实施提出了建议。(二十年前引入这些原则是为了通过更可持续的规划来避免此类失败。)
