Paragraph
Paragraph text
In some countries, small-scale-, NGO- or community-managed service providers are part of the formal institutional arrangement for ensuring access to water, sanitation and hygiene. This may be the case particularly in rural areas, where it may not be realistic to deliver piped services to individuals and households in the short term. These small-scale providers are usually recognized by the State and may receive some form of regulatory oversight.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
