DPU Service Provision Governance in the Peri-urban Interface of Metropolitan Areas ABOUT THE PROJECT This report is one of several outputs from the project Service provision governance in the peri- urban interface of metropolitan areas. This is a three-year project run by the Development Planning Unit, University College London in collaboration with a number of institutions from developing countries and with support from the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID). The purpose of the project is to improve guidance on governance and management of water and sanitation in the peri-urban interface (PUI) of metropolitan areas, in order to increase access by the poor and promote environmental sustainability. Presently there is a gap in the operating knowledge of implementing agencies on the specific problems that arise in the PUI. A premise of the project is that greater knowledge of the social, environmental and governance issues arising from changes in the management of water supply and sanitation in the PUI, and more specifically of the impact on these of different and changing regulatory frameworks, would be beneficial not only for the poor but also for these agencies and other local agents. The project examines the cases of five metropolitan areas, each with different and changing service management regimes influencing the governance of basic service provision: Chennai (India), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Cairo-Giza (Egypt), Caracas (Venezuela) and Mexico City.
