dc.description.abstractA key concern is how to properly assess water privatization programs in their ability to address the water needs of the poor. With limited supply options and low bargaining power, unconnected urban poor households in peri-urban areas of Metro Manila pay high prices for monthly water consumption that is below the minimum World Health Organization standard, posing health risks to individuals and communities. Informal settlements unable to get direct water service connections because of property rights issues depend on supply by private concessionaires to provide the last phase of water delivery. This research offers key insights based on equity metrics.en
